Guest Post: Yoga Pants and Patriarchy

“But when this article [about garments] dropped in the Trib a few days ago, something primal emerged in my chest, and this time, my emotions were not so complex.

They wonder if they can talk about things that are really on their mind, and they wonder what is appropriate or inappropriate to share with their kids in this mixed-faith experience.”

Shift (MFM series)

“I defended you in the pews and over the pulpit as people whispered their concerns and condolences about your faith transition in hushed tones. Once a Bishop, they called you fallen, misguided, and the deceived elect. Without an “honorable” priesthood leader in our home, your faith shift labeled me dangerous and unworthy. As a woman, what little power and privilege I had in the church was extinguished without you by my side.”
