  High number of Mormon women leaving the church

  Aug 19, 20269 min

  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, known as the Mormons, is an American original. It's a religion that grew out of the US to become a global church. And for decades, faithful women were its mainstay — well-educated, conservative, committed to family and community. But new research has shocked the overwhelmingly male leadership of the Mormons. More than half of all Gen Z women who grew up in the church have left. What does this mean for the church? GUEST: Dr Jana Reiss, columnist with the Religion News Service, and a member of the Mormon church.
