A Letter to a CES Director, later renamed CES Letter, is an open letter critical of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). In 2012, Jeremy Runnells began to experience doubts over his faith. An institute director of the LDS Church's Church Educational System (CES) asked him to write his concerns, and in response Runnells sent an 84-page letter with his concerns and criticisms of the LDS Church. After not receiving a response, in April 2013 he posted his letter on the internet. The letter spread throughout the Mormon blogosphere and LDS Church communities and became one of the most influential sites providing the catalyst for many people leaving the LDS Church and resigning their membership. The publicity from the CES Letter led Runnells to found the CES Letter Foundation, for which donations and paperback sales have allowed the CES Letter project to grow into a full-time career.
