Show Notes

Mags Edvalson, a convert to Community of Christ, struggled to find her place in the LDS church as an asexual young adult. In addition to brushing up against strict gender roles and expectations, Mags found issues with other contemporary teachings in Mormonism. Her involvement in Community of Christ has taken her to Kirtland and Independence, and she has been able to reconcile her sexuality, spiritual autonomy, and interest in church history in her new church home. 

Host: Carla Long
Guest: Mags Edvalson
