December 13, 2012 1:17am Mormon Women Declare Wear Pants to Church Day December 16 Post by JOANNA BROOKS
A new Mormon feminist organization called All Enlisted has declared Sunday, December 16 Wear Pants to Church Dayan event conceived as an expression of Mormon feminist visibility and solidarity and a gentle challenge to traditional gender inequalities in Mormonism.
I spoke to event organizers Sandra Durkin Ford and Stephanie Lauritzen. Both are self-described faithful, active(observant) LDS women, and both are Mormon feminists.
RD: Tell me about All Enlisted. The name comes from an LDS hymn, right? We are all enlisted til the conflict is oer...
SL: I started All Enlisted because I have sensed growing frustration in the Mormon feminist community that we talk a lot, on blogs, on Facebook, but we never take direct action. I thought, Maybe there is a way to take all that weve talked aboutmore equitable roles in Churchand to make them happen through some peaceful resistance to cultural norms.
