Love for Lucy Harris and a Harvest of Frustration (Doctrine & Covenants 3-5)

EDIT: In this episode we use the term "disability" to refer to Lucy Harris' progressive deafness. However, one of our listeners helped us learn that labeling deafness as a disability can come off as offensive because deaf people have stated that they do not consider themselves disabled. Thanks for holding us accountable! --- In this week's episode, we explore a more compassionate re-telling of the life story of Lucy Harris. What can we learn about her experience that lends her understanding and empathy instead of villainization? What surprises await us in knowing her challenges and triumphs? Later in the episode, we embark on a robust conversation about what it means to "frustrate the work of men" and how important it is to ensure that our advocacy work is rooted in values and ethics that embody care for all. Finally, we discuss the iconic verses in section 4: "The field is white and ready to harvest" in the context of social justice and feminism.   The full transcript for this episode is available on our website www.thefaithfulfeminists.com
