The word apostasy does not appear in the Doctrine and Covenants; however, apostate (86:3), apostates (85:2), and apostatize (85:2, 11) are mentioned. Webster defines apostasy as “a renunciation or abandonment of a former loyalty.” An apostate is one who follows such a course ... Elder Thomas E. McKay quipped, “We do not lose our faith from a blowout—just by slow leaks.” (Doctrine and Covenants Encyclopedia, Apostates and Apostatize, p. 21).Share
