The nuanced Mormon posted her version of temple recommends questions today and I really enjoyed that. Customizing things such as that and this really resonates with me. Thanks you for this article 🙏
“The fact that we belong to a Church that has ongoing revelation from God, where things can actually change when we have new light, is an amazing gift we’ve been given.”
The issue here is that many of us wait for many years while waiting for changes to come and they don’t. The blacks waited 150 years to enjoy the privileges given automatically upon baptism to others. Then, they were expected to just be thankful to be “allowed” to fully participate. I expect that the woman with “the issue of blood” wept at this discrimination. Christ preached a gospel of inclusion but we Latter-day Saints specialize in exclusion, while insisting that all are welcome. Perhaps this should be included AND practiced.

"Given that, the Articles of Faith that we have are surprisingly durable, and still relevant today."
I'm not sure I agree this is "surprising." Their very existence makes the things they say more likely to resist erosion.
