It's typical for young adults, ages 18-25, to leave the nest and start to fly on their own. Many young adults continue to discover who they are and what believe as they move away from their family of origin. This is not the case in the Mormon church where Young Adults are sequestered into singles wards, sent on missions, and expected to start families at a young age, all with the intention of maintaining their position as a cog in the Mormon machine. This week we wrap up our exploration of the development of Mormon identity throughout the first 25 years of a person's life.
