My parents are devout Mormons and encouraged weekly
church attendance by making many privileges dependent on
my participation. As a young teen, I didn’t think it was fair that
I would loose “phone privileges” simply because I felt deeply
compelled to explore the teachings of other religions. After
a thoughtful discussion, my father agreed that a Sunday visit
to any non-Mormon church would suffice. He encouraged my
explorations and seemed confident I eventually would return
to the faith of my ancestors.
