Langston\u2019s memoir tells the story of her faith journey from her Mormon upbringing to her experience of grace and her decision to enroll in seminary and eventually join the ELCA. Langston said, \u201cIf someone read it (the memoir) and came away thinking \u2018Mormons are bad,\u2019 that\u2019s not the point at all. The point is to bear witness to the experience of grace that I have had with God, and hopefully to allow others to see pieces of their story in my story.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
