In this compelling episode of Latter Day Struggles, Valerie is joined by guests Jody England Hansen and Maxine Hanks for a crucial discussion on the recent new requirements around the temple garment and how recent changes to the meaning, purpose, and requirements of the temple garment lead earnest members to question the appropriate role of a church involving itself so intimately in the details of the lives of its members. Their discussion also centers around the historical evolution of temple garments from priestly vestments to everyday undergarments, questioning the theological shifts that have led to a complicated intersection between the symbolic and practical. They also explore fraught issues related to gender, control, and the personal impact on women’s sense of agency and identity connected to the garment. The episode highlights personal stories and historical insights, underscoring the vital importance that *anything* symbolic in nature can only be holy if personal interpretation is invited and honored. This content is very sensitive and only for those most committed to the work of the Latter Day Struggles platform. The producers and guests of this episode desire that those listening know that their only desire is to invite health and healing to their LDS community through the contents of this discussion.
