Is Ben a Mormon?

Answer

No. Ben is not a Mormon and has no connection to the Mormon Church. That claim is disinformation being spread by opponents.

Personally, Ben is a Christian. The church he grew up in is a very progressive one that not only supports women in leadership but actively pursues this end. The church was the first in Australia to conduct same-sex marriages and affirms LGBTIQ+ rights. The church also affirms the rights of women to make decisions about their bodies.
