Series Title: A Sweeping Conversation on the New Mormon History, Hierarchy, & Social Justice [Part IV of IV]

Welcome to this last episode in this four-part series with esteemed guest Greg Prince, scientist, author, and scholar with deep ties to Mormon studies. In this episode, Val and Greg continue to examine the history of LDS hierarchy with a special focus on the gutsy and progressive Hugh B. Brown. 

Their conversation about the importance of diversity in any body of leadership leads to an exploration of the broader implications of the LDS Church's aging leaders (due to their succession-by-seniority-policy multiplied by advancements in medicine in the past several decades), discussing the possible need for succession policy reform, such as emeritus status, to maintain church vitality and address the concerns of the young faithful. 

Greg and Valerie touch on several important subjects, including the treatment of LGBTQ individuals and the ways in which a possible generational disconnect could be shaping the future of church membership. Don't miss this in-depth discussion, which extends an ongoing invitation for reflection and discourse in the LDS community.
