it seems evident that our practice of equality in the local Church experience is, in many cases, falling short of the vision being put forward by our Church leaders. It seems that while we in the LDS Church feel confident in our doctrinal belief that men and women have the same worth in the sight of God, we feel uncomfortable doing the cognitive leaps required to claim that men and women are equal in our practice. This book is going to start thousands of conversations in wards and stakes about how to change Church culture and chapel practice for women-for the better. OK, bottom line in case you are not interested in reading a lengthy book review and would rather have the Twitter version: BUY THIS BOOK! Buy it in bulk, and give it to every member of your bishopric, stake presidency, and local leadership. Women at Church: Magnifying LDS Women's Local Impact, by Neylan McBaine, Salt Lake City: Kofford Books, 2014
