I'm How did I not see this coming? Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Year of Ploamy podcast.

I'm your host, Lindsay, and this is part two of a discussion of fundamentalism and the temple.

And I'm bringing Anne Hatch and Benjamin Schaefer back.

If you're just tuning in, you need to listen to part one of this,

where we talk about the history of

temple changes and fundamentalism in the temple. Ann, can you say hello? Hello, everyone.

I know you did this on part one, but will you just tell us a little bit about yourself?

Sure. My name is Anne Hatch, and I was raised in the LDS Church, and I started looking into the

changes in the church in the 1990s, started looking into the changes in the church in the

1990s and I stopped attending the church in the early 2000 and I joined the Christ Church, which we

have a nickname of the branch and there I've held several callings and still do but currently

my major role is as Temple Matron.

I've been the Temple Matron since 2013.

And your branch, your church is a polygamous church, right?

I mean, that's something that we haven't really talked explicitly about.

It is, actually.

And interestingly enough, when we had the missionaries from this church come to our home, and they invited us to a few meetings where we were living at the time.

And I knew right away that it was a church of polygamy, and my was like no no no I'm just looking for the power

and the priesthood and and the restoration of all things and you know getting things back to where

they were before they were changed this isn't polygamy and I'm like dude this is plogamy yeah it's

kind of hard to leave that one out kind of is so so we also have Benjamin Schaefer, who is returning again.

And Ben, can you just tell us about yourself?
