Sarah Allen's Response to Letter For My Wife

Summary: Following her excellent response to the CES Letter, FAIR has asked Sarah Allen to respond in line-by-line fashion to Letter For My Wife. Letter For My Wife is a similar document to the CES Letter but was written in a much more even-keeled tone in order to be more appealing to those who found the tone of the CES Letter too combative and off-putting. Letter For My Wife covers much of the same ground as the CES Letter with some extra material from the author added in. Following procedure for the CES Letter, FAIR will post Sarah's responses to Letter For My Wife serially on the FAIR Blog and then gather links to each of those posts here.

FAIR has posted their own rebuttal to Letter For My Wife which can be read here.

Sarah Allen works in mortgage compliance and is a freelance copyeditor by trade. A voracious reader, she loves studying the Gospel and the history of the restored Church. After watching some of her friends lose their testimonies, she became interested in helping others through their faith crises and began sharing what she learned through her studies. Sarah has been affiliated with FAIR since 2021.
