Nancy Ross describes her history with scripture reading and wrestling to find harmony in Leviticus and learning more about giving grace to others.

Nancy Ross is an associate professor and department chair. She researches Mormon and Community of Christ women, women’s ordination movements, and issues related to Mormon feminism. Her forthcoming book, which will be published by the University of Illinois Press in March 2026, is titled “Mormon Garments: Sacred and Secret” and examines the meaning and lived experiences of those who wear garments through the lenses of gender and belief. She is an ordained elder in Community of Christ and pastor of the Southern Utah Emerging congregation and still loves and claims her Mormon feminist community.
