Where Do Feminist Mormons Stand, a Year After Excommunication?

Nancy Ross was sitting next to Kate Kelly at an Ordain Women board meeting in Salt Lake City on June 23, 2014, when Kelly learned that she had been excommunicated from the LDS Church.

Kelly began to tear up at the email from her Mormon bishop, and soon most of the nine or so board members around the table were weeping as well.

“It was a truly awful day — with a lot of really big emotions,” Ross recalls. 

“A year later, it’s still an awful thing.”
