That vision raises questions that are profoundly relevant in today's divided society. Is unity of feeling and belief desirable or even possible? If so, what does it look like? Ryan Davis explores these questions by reflecting on personal stories from his life and work in the present-day Latter-day Saints faith community. The stories that Davis is interested in are ones in which relative strangers or mere acquaintances catch a glimpse of each other's humanity. Within that liminal space--which Davis calls "Mormon Zion"--they are able to listen to each other, learn from each other, and find common ground, qualities that are sorely needed in today's public square. Combining gifted storytelling with keen analysis, Davis illuminates people's lived experiences within the Latter-day Saints community and offers thoughtful reflections on what it might mean to share one heart and one mind in today's polarized world.;

Abstract	One of the earliest goals of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was to build a modern Zion--a community where people would share one heart and one mind. That vision raises questions that are profoundly relevant in today's divided society. Is unity of feeling and belief desirable or even possible? If so, what does it look like? Ryan Davis explores these questions by reflecting on personal stories from his life and work in the present-day Latter-day Saints faith community. The stories that Davis is interested in are ones in which relative strangers or mere acquaintances catch a glimpse of each other's humanity. Within that liminal space--which Davis calls "Mormon Zion"--they are able to listen to each other, learn from each other, and find common ground, qualities that are sorely needed in today's public square. Combining gifted storytelling with keen analysis, Davis illuminates people's lived experiences within the Latter-day Saints community and offers thoughtful reflections on what it might mean to share one heart and one mind in today's polarized world.
