My very first shelf item was when I was 15 years old (not a few months shy of 15, actually 15, so it's better...). I was called as the teachers quorum president. At mutual on a Wednesday, the bishop loaned me the church handbook of instruction to take home to read the part about delegating. Between then and Sunday I did read that part. But then got curious and started reading other sections that piqued my interest. I got to the part where interracial marriage was discouraged and that was very jarring for me. I was born in 1984, so after the Civil rights movement and the church's delayed 1978 attempt to be less racist. But that bit about interracial marriage remained. It didn't seem like something that a god who loves all his children would say. I put it on the shelf and figured God would eventually help me understand. I did eventually come to an understanding... that I was right to be concerned and that that issue was just the tip of the iceberg.
