Event Details
The Mormon Church has attracted Spanish-speaking members to its fold in record numbers. Come learn about some of the reasons why in a presentation by Dr. Sujey Vega of ASU. Her research includes locating the historical growth of Latina/o LDS members in the Phoenix area and the role the LDS Church plays in the lives of current Latino Mormons. She is particularly interested in gendered social networks, primarily the Relief Society as it engages Spanish-speaking women in Church leadership and the pull/push factors that have attracted Spanish-speaking members.
