Series Title: "Tabernacles of Clay” Analysis with Taylor Petrey [Part IV of IV]

Join Valerie and colleague Taylor Petrey in this final episode of their fascinating series studying Taylor's must-read book "Tabernacles of Clay": a study of the movements of the LDS church in the realm of gender and sexuality spanning the time period beginning post WWII to present.

In this episode Val and Taylor address the following:

• A mind-bending list of proposed causes and cures forwarded by the LDS Church for homosexuality over the years
• A list of vastly varying ideas preached by different LDS general leaders about pre-mortal gender, post-mortal gender, and allowed sexual practices--illustrating the extreme shifts and changes in this area in the past 70 years
• They also explore how an analysis of  Tabernacle’s of Clay makes explicit the tendency for humanity [including the LDS church] to scapegoat a new population of people when another group of people receives recognition for historical marginalization
• They also address the psychological phenomena of victim becoming persecutor and how this may apply to our church’s historical tendency to marginalize various populations

The book being analyzed in this series: 

• Tabernacles of Clay: Sexuality and Gender in Modern Mormonism, by Taylor Petrey
