Updated: Jan 3, 2022

In this examination of various ways religion and spirituality may impact people's practice of polyamory, Laura discusses the topic with guests from several different backgrounds to see how the processes of coming out as polyamorous, unpacking mono-normativity and purity culture, partner selection, and inhabiting the normative culture vary based on their early and ongoing religious experiences.





In part 2, Laura converses with a person of devout Christian belief who explains how he holds his polyamory to be compatible theologically but not always logistically with his faith & everyday life as an active member of his church.


As always, the music for the show is by the lovely, talented Vince Conaway, who you can find at http://vinceconaway.com .

We'd love to see you in the facebook group or interacting on the social media (@readyforpolyamory everywhere but twitter, where I'm @lauracb88); and we'll be back next week with a look at couple's privilege in polyamory.

I find that Family trips can benefit from driving directions that help parents organize routes, identify useful stops, and make longer journeys easier to manage from start to finish.

The part about the devout Christian reconciling polyamory theologically but struggling logistically really hit home for me. I grew up in a similar faith tradition and the tension between what you believe privately and what you can actually live out in a church community is so real. Speaking of logistics, this reminds me of how much of our lives are shaped by imperfect representations — even the way we present ourselves online can feel like a low quality image of who we really are. Thanks for digging into these nuanced conversations that most people avoid.
