Now that's how you handle this sort of thing. Well played.

So the church is financially contributing to a blasphemous and sacrilegious stage production. Finally, the church does something I can unequivocally support, though it does seem an odd use of sacred tithing funds.

The link shows what I am guessing is part of the church's add in the play bill, which states; "The book is always better".

That produced a snort-chuckle. They cannot give the book away, yet the broadway production has done smashingly well. Yeah, its real common dilemma for theater goers - "If I see the play first, will it ruin the book"?

I think it is pretty classy really.


At least the Mormons are not trying to blow the place up for poking fun at their religion.
