Mormon convert, mother of three, makes election history

Mia Love and her husband, Jason.
Mia Love made history last night as the first black Republican woman ever elected to the U.S. Senate. She will represent Utah's 4th District.

Her history is a fascinating one and makes her perhaps the single most diverse personality in American politics. She is a minority several times over: Black Mormon convert. Married to a white returned Mormon missionary. Mother of three young children. Daughter of Haitian immigrants.

Mia Love joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS / Mormon church) after college, leaving behind Roman Catholicism. She moved to Utah from Connecticut where she'd wrapped up her degree in the performing arts. Love got help moving into her new place from some missionaries she had met in Connecticut, including Jason Love, whom she ended up marrying a few months later.

Though I didn't vote for Mia Love (I couldn't because I live in the wrong district), I am excited to see what she will accomplish in Washington.

Rethinking Mormon policies about married gays and their children

LDS church office building One article on the Salt Lake Tribune has 3202 comments (and counting) this morning. No, I did not read them all. But I get the feeling that most of the comments mirror the sentiments of this sampling: "The LDS Church. Always looking for new ways to alienate people and turn them away." "Pitting parents against children is their MO [modus operandi] and has been their MO for a very long time." "For those active [M]ormons that find the latest pronouncement of apostasy for those engaged in sex marriage or co-habitation offensive or embarrassing, you can make your voice heard." "So kids get to suffer for the "sins" of their fathers? How Christ like [sic]." Of course, the Tribune isn't the only website posting articles discussing the LDS (Mormon) Church policies related to gay marriage. The other articles I have seen have sparked similar commentary. As a Mormon who tries to be faithful, I feel ob

Why I didn't leave God, Christianity, and Mormonism

During Sunday School today, my teacher asked, “By a show of hands, who has seen a close friend or family member leave the Church within the past two years?” Most hands shot up. A sobering sight.  I’m not writing to discuss how I have personally seen others’ faith appear to blossom or shrivel in recent years. I’m writing to share my own story. A few years ago, I almost abandoned God, Christianity, and the Mormon church. Here’s why I made the choice to hold on. It all started my second semester of law school. Winter. Cold and dark. The middle of an almost suffocating inversion. If you've never been to Utah during the winter, just imagine a haze so thick and air quality so poor that you can taste it. While my peers were studying case law, I couldn't pull myself away from the internet. I fixated on my faith. I devoured everything I could find about Christianity and in particular, the Mormon church or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Actually, th
