Gina Colvin, a theologian and scholar in Christchurch, New Zealand, sees no conflict between being a baptized Latter-day Saint and, now, a baptized Anglican.
Why, she wonders, should she have to choose between the faiths? She sees herself as a “both/and” — not an “either/or” — kind of believer.
Now, it’s up to Colvin’s local lay leaders to decide whether her approach is OK with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Her Latter-day Saint bishop, Joshua Shaw, summoned the popular podcaster (she manages “A Thoughtful Faith”) to a disciplinary council Thursday to consider whether Colvin can continue to be a member of the Utah-based faith or whether she should be excommunicated, disfellowshipped or otherwise punished.
