Is shunning done in the Mormon Church? PDF Print E-mail
Written by Chuck

Hello.  I am curious as to what relationship is allowed by LDS's when a adult converts to becomming a Morman but his family and friends remain non-Mormans.  Does the Morman church require that he shuns his family or friends who are non-Mormans or may he continue his life long relationship with siblings, nephews, long time friends, etc. who have their own strong non-Morman religious beliefs?
And if he is allowed to continue these relationships does this mean it's ok to socialize with these non-Mormans (i.e. watching football games, going to movies together, etc. etc.).
Thank you for any time which you spend in answering this question.

1. Absolutely not
We all, in fact, are encouraged to continue and strengthen our relationships. The is no concept of shunning in the LDS church - Ever. We are all brothers and sisters and children of God. We need to love, help and support each other - even when making different life choices. If we shunned - that would not be the Christian thing to do. 
 
We know that some other churches have the practice of shunning - but that is absolutely not one that is done in the LDS Church.
