moms speaking in church tomorrow, about the 12th article of faith, and i love how she wrestles with all of its implications, how she refuses to go for simple answers, and how she has found a soultion somewhere b/w the churches complacency and my radicalism.

We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
that is the article of faith, and she has reached the elegant soultion of disobeying this article when the larger law is being disobeyed by keeping it.

the larger law being loving the lord and loving your neighbour.

she uses the example of the norwegian king wearing a yellow star, but also touches on everything from st thomas moore to the 1890 descion on polygymy (which should be revisited, since "mormon fundimentalists" are back in the news with the elizabeth smart case)
