  1. I joined the church in 1975 when I was in the Army. Had I read the original article, I can honestly say that I never would’ve joined such a sexist, misogynistic organization. The day-to-day operation of the church now is not different from back then, so I’m not sure why they “softened” the article with an Oopsie statement.

Our Inter-belief Mormon Communities Need Intentional Ethical Boundaries

One thing we have in common is the desire to be understood and find belonging. In a recent comment on this blog, a woman named Amy wrote to me saying, "I want honesty and accountability from others in my relationships. I want to be respected for surviving a faith transition–not rejected and held as 'less' because I drew different conclusions." How can we offer the equal treatment, space for differences, accountability, and respect Amy describes so well to each other? Mormon communities can do this by upholding ethical principles that guide interfaith dialogue, the same boundaries that make the interfaith dinners I help organize productive and positive experiences.
