I watched this interview yesterday and thoroughly loved it! It’s about Meredith. As a child, she had a feminist mom who raised her to be independent. thinking that marriage and motherhood were not needed as a woman. She was intensely curious about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints because all the high school students in her school who were members were kind and helpful and responsible. She started looking into the church and even dated a member. She also did a term paper about the Church and attended meetings of the Church. She probably would have joined the Church in high school but her mom forbade her to learn any more about it. So she stopped investigating it. She then went off to college thinking she would become a forensic pathologist. Instead she became an Episcopalian priest. She loved her job as a priest in a nursing home, encouraging old people M-F. But she knew something was missing, especially on Sunday. As a trained theologian, having a master’s from divinity school, she loved theology. When she read the Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ, she knew that Joseph Smith could not have written the sublime truths in the Book of Mormon by himself. She knew this book comes from God. Long story short (you have to watch the video) she got baptized into the Church and now teaches gospel doctrine classes. Sadly, her husband passed away a year ago. She has a completely different life than she had in her younger adult years. Now she lives on a farm and has 4 children, and she homeschools most of them. This is such a beautiful story, please have a listen!
This interview is fascinating! I hope you watch it!
