A new website called FaithLeaks aims to bring transparency to the workings of religious congregations and denominations by publishing documents and data provided by anonymous sources.
The web portal was founded by Ryan McKnight and Ethan Dodge, two former Mormons who gained access to documents that shed of light on the inner workings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Recently the two founders published 33 letters and documents detailing an internal investigation of alleged sexual abuse within a congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
