282: LDS Women Model Community over Ideological Purity
Series Title: Celebrating 50 Years Exponent II & Mormon Feminist Voices [Part II of II]
In this episode Valerie continues to visit with Heather Sundahl and Katie Rich about how the Exponent II community provided the. LDS patriarchal structure with a model of how organizations look when run by women and for women and gender minorities.
What does this look like?
• Rotating leadership structure that allows many voices, ideas, and opinions
• The privileging of community over ideological purity
• An interest in many voices and diverse experiences
• More listening, curiosity, and empathy
• A focus on providing safe space to experience connection all of the way along the Mormon heritage spectrum
Listen to this incredible episode honoring not only the Exponent II organization itself but also a recent book published to capture its history and vision.
