Laurie Lee Hall was the Chief Architect for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Designing and overseeing some of Mormonism’s most sacred spaces, this former Stake President and bishop made one of the most profound decisions of her life: authenticity.
Laurie sits down with Latter Gay Stories in a follow up to her last interview (episode 168) and she shares with us her just published memoir, “Dictates of Conscience: From Mormon High Priest to My New Life as a Woman.”
In this interview, Laurie pulls back the curtain to share a “behind the scene” look at how the First Presidency and other top church leaders govern the affairs of the church. She discusses her transition, excommunication, and restrictions placed on her because of her power to live her “eternal identity.”
Through the power of lived experience, this interview affirms the reality of gender identity and the strength and joy of self-acceptance.
Pick up Laurie Lee’s book on Amazon or directly through Signature Books.
