Mormon cultural snap judgments affect church members

By Abby Hobbs
January 31, 2017 12:00 AM
Editor's note: Members of the LDS Church embrace a theology that includes a daily quest for personal perfection, if not in this life, then in the afterlife. That quest can become toxic if it morphs into self-righteousness and judgment of how well others meet one's own internal standard. This is the first in a series of stories about the impact such judgments can have on individuals, families and the church as a whole.
