I was just doing my semi-regular reading of Feminist Mormon Housewives when I came accross this post on the subject of Christ centered meetings. It reminded me a lot of the things that we post here and some of our major criticisms of the church service. I must admit, I feel very sorry for these women who are trying so hard to reconcile their convictions of what is right with the belief system they were brought up in. I've been there and it's an uphill struggle and not one I think they'll ever win. I'm concerned that they will have to end up trading off one against the other as time goes on and I hope that when that time comes they'll choose their personal convictions.

Anyway - go read the post on Christ-centered services. It's an excellent read, though I feel the comments are in places more enlightening than the article itself as to the mormon POV.
