Separated but not Divorced: The LDS Churchh

by Craig L. Foster

Overview

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints�s uncomfortable relationship with its polygamous history is somewhat like an awkward marriage separation. This is, in part, because of the fitful, painful cessation of plural marriage and the ever present reminders of its complicated past. This essay looks at examples of members� expression of discomfort over a polygamous heritage and concludes with suggestions of possible pathways to a more comfortable reconciliation.
