  1. I saw the play over a decade ago. Maybe it was the first run. I’m not sure. .. it was brilliant and beautiful. Perhaps a little longer than I would like, but, we’ll see if my feelings have changed over the years. I’m going again on Saturday. Thanks for this information. The story of Jane Manning James is a jewel in the hisory of the Mormon church. It’s a story we should all know by heart.

Recent [BYU] requirements to perform church membership in specific ways honestly remind me of Satan's plan to take away people's agency. I know families who are one sympathetic bishop's release away from disaster. I know people seriously considering career change and people who have already left. People are afraid to support their LGBT family publicly; I know people who have suffered career consequences for doing so. I know an employee with non-LDS family who was terrified someone would see beer cans in her garbage can and think they belonged to her. Faithful faculty members trying their best, even those who are quite orthodox, are afraid they'll be perceived as not being quite orthodox enough. And everyone is afraid to talk about their fears with each other or their leadership, not knowing who they can trust.
I’ve gotten more on board with having a Christmas list that follows the popular plan of “something you need, something you want, and something to read.” It’s in that spirit that I share the Christmas wishes I have for all Latter Day Saint Women.
