The Modern LDS Church has not officially practiced polygamy for 130 years. However, Lindsay Hansen Park says polygamy continues to shape the modern Mormons. Why does she say that? Lindsay: This is very common in the historical community. They’re like, “Yeah, yeah, fundamentalism is interesting, but it’s not Mormonism.” No, no, no. It absolutely is. […] The post *How Polygamy Shapes Modern Mormons (Part 8 of 8) appeared first on Gospel Tangents.
There has been a slowdown in growth for the LDS Church recently. I asked Dr. Jana Riess what the Church can do to halt the slide, and I was a bit surprised at her answer. Is there a problem with "out of the box" Mormons? https://youtu.be/gff2tQByGfQ GT : Is there anything in your book that you think that leaders can use to keep people in? Jana: Yes, and no. {Chuckling} So that's my wishy-washy answer. The Yes, part is yes, there are things. For example, backing away on LGBT issues can only help. It certainly would help if the church did a better job of incorporating more Millennials into things that they care about, rather than indexing genealogy or things that the church cares about, but that are not necessarily driving attendance for people in their 20's. There are a lot of things like that. We could have better architecture. I have a whole list of those things. Jana: But the no side, which I think is just as important, and I'm speaking here as a historian. When we look at the bigger picture of what's going on in American religion, more generally, Mormons and ex-Mormons are so tunnel-focused on what the Church is, or is not doing, that is driving this problem that they miss the bigger picture that Mormonism is not an island. We have, throughout our history, been buffeted by the tides of whatever is going on in American religion. In the 1950s and 60s, when religion was thriving in the United States, we were also thriving. And in the 70s, and 80s, when conservative religions, in particular, were thriving the United States, we were thriving. Now we're in a period where everyone is suffering, we are also suffering. So in that context, particularly because we are less than 2% of the population, there's not a lot we can do. Mormonism is really good for nuclear families, but it can be a tough place for singles, divorced, LGBT, widowed, or other members who may not have the ideal Mormon family. In our next conversation with Dr. Jana Riess and Dr. Ben Knoll, we'll talk about non-traditional families, and how we can make church culture better for others. Jana: There is one area where I see church leaders really trying to change this outcome. And it's in the hammering of marriage and having children. Recent talks by certain church leaders have emphasized this. And that's not to say it hasn't been an emphasis all along, but the stakes are much higher. We're looking at a scenario where married church members, according to the church's own leaked statistics, married church members in their 20s are twice as likely to be active, as single church members in their 20s of the same age. So, the Church says, "Well, let's just get everybody married," right? And the people who are most active in the church are the people who have children of school age and are in those programs right now. "Well, let's get people to have children," right? And of course, that plays into the eternal message of the gospel, that marriage and children are part of your exaltation forever. So, it's not like this is just a cynical, sociological move that we need to up our activity rates. They truly, I think, earnestly believe that this is also contributing to people's eternal salvation, but they have got to be worried about marriage among Millennials as a whole in this nation. Millennials are delaying marriage Millennials are having fewer children or not having children at all. And in terms of religiosity that is a concern, not just for Mormons, but for all organized religions. Because those young parents are the mainstay. They are the bread and butter of religious activity and tithing and programs, the success of the programs. So that's where you're going to see them trying to change that narrative. GT: To be more friendly to singles, is that what you're saying? Jana: No. I'm afraid not. GT: That's too bad. Jana: To be telling singles, "Just get married already," which seems to be the message that comes up again and again.
I'm excited to introduce Dr. Jana Riess and Dr. Benjamin Knoll. These two have put together the largest survey of Mormon attitudes ever. With Mormons being just 2% of the U.S. population, I asked them how randomly sample Mormon attitudes. Jana and Ben will tell us more. https://youtu.be/F0TJrv6rmp4 Ben: We contracted with a firm, who has been a leader in developing these methodologies. It has been an approach that has been used successfully, not only by Pew Research, but other social scientists who have tried to get at Mormons in the population, because for the very reason that you're talking about, it's 2%, at best, of the US population. So when we make these telephone surveys, that means that one out of every 50 people, if you're random digit dialing, is going to be someone who says, "Yes, I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints." That's a lot of man hours, you've get to go through to make so many calls to get several hundred, if not at least 1000 surveys completed there.w What other issues are involved in putting together a scientific survey? Check out our conversation… Dr. Jana Riess and Dr. Ben Knoll have put together the largest public opinion survey of Mormons ever.

Sharing the Good News with Mormons (Part 2); guest: Eric Johnson
The Enneagram is a powerful tool for coming to know ourselves and others. Emerging in the mid-twentieth century and refined during the ensuing years, interest in it as a tool for aiding in one's spiritual growth, understanding ourselves and others, helping to build workplace and other kinds of teams that work well together, and shedding light on the dynamics between spouses, partners, family members, and friends has steadily—and for good reasons!—increased. In this four-part podcast episode, panelists Jana Riess and Jana Spangler, and Mormon Matters host Dan Wotherspoon share about the Enneagram itself and their experiences with it, but focus most of their attention (beginning in Part 2) on its specific applications to Mormonism, especially the ease or struggles to "fit in" or be rewarded/recognized/valued that typically arise as various personality types and the spiritual development of its members meet up with the church's truth claims, practices, institutional aspects, and Mormon culture. In Part 4, the attention shifts to understanding the particularities of the types of spiritual work that would support each personality type as they journey toward wholenss. Each of us have a "shadow" that, beginning in childhood, was constructed to help us cope with a world that wasn't ideal in every way. Throughout our lives, and generally only when we are "forced" to confront the pain and subtle or very toxic messages we underwent and/or intuited, do we begin to notice and begin to confront these hidden aspects of ourselves. In this process, either undertaken by oneself or through partnership with a trusted therapist of spiritual director, we get in touch with these things that are keeping us back, that cause us to repeat certain patterns over and over even though we know they aren't serving us well, and, most of all, that hide ourselves from ourselves—our perfect, whole, and beloved and loving soul. It is through this "soul/shadow work" that we heal and see and feel, so much more than ever before, the joy and peace that is our birthright. We wouldn't put out a four-hour podcast if it weren't as fascinating and terrific a conversation that the panelists and Dan had, nor if we didn't feel the Enneagram were a wonderful tool and set of lenses through which we can better understand ourselves, our church leaders, our congregants (if leaders will listen in here), and, especially, the faith challenges (many specific to aspects of Mormonism) we and others face. Please listen in! As you get started, the prospect of a four-hour listen (over several segments of time, of course!) won't seem nearly so daunting!
