Learning to Speak and Listen Past Generational Boundaries Many Mormons of the younger generation feel isolated or frustrated when their conception of Mormonism clashes with that of their parents or leaders. This frustration is often compounded by a feeling of voicelessness, as youth find it difficult to express their views at home or in church. In turn, parents and leaders can feel misunderstood as they try to express their beliefs while showing love. Prior to this panel session, professional mediator Jeffrey Nielsen will lead a group of young people, parents, and Church leaders in a multi-session dialogue about their beliefs, allowing them to share their perspectives openly while attempting to heal rifts that may exist.
