In a new article for The Atlantic, staff writer McKay Coppins, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, writes that members of the LDS Church spent 200 years assimilating to the American ideal, only to have the country leave them behind.
As the faith enters its third century, the nation it longed to be accepted by has changed and fractured, leaving Mormons, McKay says, “to grapple with questions about who they are and what they believe.” McKay’s essay is both a personal exploration of faith and an assessment of a religion at a crossroads. He joins us this Friday at noon MST to talk about the LDS church’s identity crisis as it adapts to the present and the future.
