AB The metaphor of a “tattered passport” in the title of Armand Mauss's autobiography will likely resonate with the experiences of many members of the Association for the Sociology of Religion (ASR). With two central roles in his life, Mauss felt like he required a “passport” to transition between them. He was socialized into his first role, “devout Mormon,” and that first role led, via a winding path, to his second role, “scholar of religion.” From a humbling but motivating encounter with a knowledgeable Episcopal vicar while on his mission to training in a Jesuit university while living with his father who was leading the Mormon mission in Japan, Mauss's Mormon role raised questions.
