Episode 14 of Apostates explores the September 1993 disciplinary actions against six prominent LDS intellectuals known as the "September Six." We examine the Church context of the early 1990s, including leadership dynamics and growing tensions between institutional authority and intellectual inquiry. We profile each individual—Lavina Fielding Anderson, Avraham Gileadi, Maxine Hanks, D. Michael Quinn, Paul Toscano, and Lynne Kanavel Whitesides—discussing their specific conflicts with Church leadership. We analyze the immediate chilling effect on LDS scholarship and the long-term impact on intellectual discourse within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
