Yes, it's amazing how a practice of your Church of roughly 100 years ago which, by some accounts, was not all that widely practiced, and by no means _the_ defining characteristic of the Church) is all that most people seem to know about. To some extent, you can thank HBO's "Big Love", which, like most interest in Mormon Polygamy, seems to be based on the titillation factor, more than anything else. We Methodists only have the expression "Dry as a Methodist picnic" to stereotype us. Dave _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
