Series Title: A Sketch of the Life & Work of Mormon Feminist Maxine Hanks [Part III of IV]

In this beautiful episode 3, Valerie continues the deep dive into the beautiful life story of special guest, Maxine Hanks. From exploring her theological journey into early Christian gnosticism, to her experiences in Christian liturgy, to her studies at Harvard, to her work as a Chaplain, and finally her return to the LDS Church, Maxine's journey offers a unique perspective on faith and self-discovery. 

Her fascinating path interweaves elements of personal growth, mission, and calling with a desire to be instrumental in community reconciliation and part of an expanding body of Christ. This episode also introduces a further exploration of Maxine’s reintroduction experience to the LDS faith (which is detailed in the final episode of this series). 

The final episode of this series delves into Maxine's reconciliation experience with the LDS church, her thoughts on others in her September 6 cohort whose experiences were not as generous, and her vision for a more loving body of Christ as a church who learns the power of true ministry.
