Jana Riess: 'The genius of Mormonism has always been at the ward level for me, where people enact community on a daily basis. There’s nothing romantic about this, because it’s hard work.'
about the way the church has been treated in the media’s investigation, as though the church were the real victim.
Latter-day Saint historian Kate Holbrook speaks at Benchmark Books in Salt Lake City in 2018. She died Aug. 20 at age 50., did so while surrounded by love from the untold numbers of people whose lives she touched. Many of these people were members of the church. Women from her ward, or congregation, held a vigil outside her house, singing hymns through their tears. People cleaned, babysat, baked cookies, told stories, brought casseroles.
At the little-c level, I have always felt that the church makes me a better person. It puts me into wards with people I didn’t choose and don’t necessarily have a lot in common with, and prods me to build a life in common with them anyway. There is a general sense of equality in the little-c church: Yes, we have a bishop, and the bishop is the recognized leader of the community. But the bishop is also one of us, sharing in our fellowship and our struggles. We don’t stand on ceremony.
