Pogo, I've known LDS folks both Eastern and Western, and mostly they're a nice bunch. And I can deal with the missionaries -- I just tell them "No, thanks." (FWIW, I have a copy of the Book of Mormon in my desk at work so that I can surprise people -- I ripped it off from a motel in Utah. And yes, I've read it. I've read a lot of things.

Anyway, Granny didn't show up for the story hour on Thursday, so our storyteller didn't get a chance to talk with her. We'll just have to see what happens.

Back in Cincinnati, the saying was "Altitude is attitude" -- those who lived on the hills looked down their noses at those who resided on the hillsides or lower. There's a bit of that around here, too (and the hills are LOTS higher than in Ohio!), and Granny lives in one of those areas.

I'm not familiar with the heirarchy of the LDS church (except the very higher-ups, like the President and the Apostles), but there's a man who's above a Bishop working for the city -- if needed I'll bring him into the fray. I hope, though, that simply explaining the Granny what's going on will do it.

Here's something interesting, or at least I found it so. In the US, businesses cannot descriminate on the basis of religion and must make every effort, within the bounds of good business practice, to accomodate your religious beliefs. This includes Ba'hai, Judaism, Catholicism, Santeria, and others -- including Wicca.
