For this 3 part bonus mini series, hosts Jennifer Thomas and Patrick Mason are joined by Aaron Dorfman of A More Perfect Union to explore the experiences of Latter-day Saints as a minority community, especially in the wake of recent events that highlight the challenges faced by religious minorities. They reflect on the importance of understanding the dynamics of being part of a smaller faith community, particularly outside of Utah, and the varied relationships that can arise from this position. The discussion emphasizes the opportunity to learn from other communities, particularly the Jewish community, which has a long history of navigating religious minority status in often unfriendly societies.
[00:01:47] Religious minorities and their impact.
[00:05:11] No one is defined by worst.
[00:07:15] Antisemitism and misinformation strategies.
[00:12:10] Standing up for communities.
[00:14:20] Easing suffering through community engagement.
[00:20:14] Tikkun olam: repairing the world.
[00:21:40] Collaborative repair of the world.
