Wear Pants to Church Day

[Pheidippides]

A Fathers' Room, of course.

Is there any chance that we can get these folks on board with a "Father's Room" while we're at it? Mother's room is so 2012.

The CoC building in DC has a nursery that runs during sacrament meeting. It is in a balcony room overlooking the chapel (with a huge window that looks out) that has plenty of toys and comfortable chairs. That is what I call a father's room.

Personally, I think it's brilliant at stake conference when they put chairs in the nursery and pipe the meeting in there. If I ever actually went to stake conference, we would totally hang in there the whole time. Baby Funk barely makes it through the sacrament most Sundays, let alone two hours.

The High Council room is the official CUF hangout during Stake Conference at our stake, in case anyone wants to visit. It has comfier chairs than the primary room, and, due to the big table in the middle of it, is much less packed than the RS room, with plenty of space for kids to stretch.

I haven't finished it yet, but it is very good. Remarkably progressive article for the FAIR venue.

Almost immediately he talks about "triangulation". You can't take anyone seriously that uses that word.

He is a she.

With a name like Neylan, how could I have possibly been confused?

From the second sentence of the article:

My credentials as someone qualified to talk about this subject come from: first, a lifetime of personal experience as a woman in the Church and now the mother of three daughters; second, my role as founder, in 2010, of a non-profit organization, The Mormon Women Project, which publishes stories of faithful Latter-day Saint women from around the world; and third, a twelve-year career in marketing and brand strategy including my current role as associate creative director Church-owned Bonneville Communications, the agency partnered with the Church on Mormon.org and the “I’m A Mormon” campaign.

This was before the triangulate quote.

Lots of rumblings in our stake. It seems that the impact of the pants day is growing larger with time.

Interesting. I've not heard a peep about this in our ward or stake.

[Moliere]

In France is was usually the opposite.

I went to church last Sunday AND I wore pants. This is me with an old BYU roommate who happens to attend the ward that meets after my brother's.

Take this comment with the respect it's intended, but you look very nice in that pantsuit and can't imagine anyone who would think that outfit is inappropriate for church.

Can't sneak anything by this crowd.

I read through it all. She gives and excellent summary of the pain that women feel, and idenifying where that pain comes from, and then concludes by giving excellent suggestions about how to improve the current position of women without actually giving them the priesthood.

However, I found the middle section and her "cooperative paradigm" to be a complete load of manure, the dark stinky kind. She builds up an elaborate, and rickety framework differentiating between the church and "fallen world institutions" thus creating a silly dichotomy between "the world" and "God's Kingdom" when in reality "God's Kingdom" is every bit as fallen and imperfect as all of the "fallen world institutions" that she doesn't think we should be compared to because our paradigm is different than the world's.

I grow so tired of this false dichotomy of "the world" and "the church" and I wish Mormons would wake up and realize that WE ARE THE WORLD! WE POPULATE IT! The church is not exempt from the human condition.
