The phrase “inclusive and genuine faith community” ought to be synonymous with church.  It ought to be a given.  However, as MaryAnn Scott shares with host, Robin Linkhart, in this Fair Trade episode, that is not always the case. Here, MaryAnn share her faith transition story, detailing her upbringing in a large LDS family, her struggles with balancing faith and personal identity, and her eventual departure from the LDS Church. Driven by a desire for a supportive faith environment, she describes her transition to Community of Christ and the incredibly welcoming community she found there. MaryAnn emphasizes the importance of community, acceptance, and the freedom to explore faith without judgment.
