The Church has a pyramidal structure. Ultimate authority lies with the First Presidency, and comprises the President, who is most commonly referred to as the Prophet, and his two counsellors.

In her memoir, Gay discusses her faith journey and her departure from the LDS faith.
First off, let’s discuss about the quality of the memoir. I mind Gay was a adorable good writer for an amateur. She uses an overabundance of pop society references and she has a tendency toward repetitio
