The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this month announced a change to its policy on weddings in an effort to allow more friends and family members to take part in the ceremonies.

This change comes recently after the church reversed a policy on LGBT rights.

To talk about the significance of these changes, The Show reached out to Patrick Mason, the Howard W. Hunter chair of Mormon studies at Claremont Graduate University.
