“I believe the church is actively and currently doing harm in the world,” Jeff Green wrote, saying he’d be departing the faith “immediately” and taking 11 family members with him.
Utah's wealthiest native son, who pledged last month to give away at least 90 percent of his wealth, has formally broken ties with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, excoriating the organization on its hoarded wealth and civil-rights record on his way out the door.
In an explosive 900-word letter sent Monday to LDS President Russell Nelson, Jeff T.
