User:Wr!ter/Society for Mormon Philosophy and Theology

The Society for Mormon Philosophy and Theology (SMPT) was formed on March 28, 2003 as a scholarly forum for disciplined study of the scriptures and revealed doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The first annual meeting was held at Utah Valley State College on March 19-20, 2004, and the proceedings were published in Discourses in Mormon Theology: Philosophical and Theological Possibilities. A selection of papers from subsequent annual meetings and other contributed articles are currently published in Element: A Journal of Mormon Philosophy and Theology,, the Society's semiannual journal.

The Society is governed by an elected Executive Board, administered by an Executive Committee and adheres to the Constitution and Bylaws ratified in February 2004. Membership is open to scholars and students.
