LDS Women Asked To Wear Pants

For the second year in a row, a Mormon group is asking women to wear pants to church on an upcoming Sunday in mid-December — this time as a show of support for inclusiveness for all. The first "Wear Pants to Church Day'' was held in December 2012 to show solidarity for women's equality. Organizer Nancy Ross said the goal of this year's event is broader: to encourage The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to continue to grow more progressive and inclusive. They are also inviting men and women to wear purple. The event, set for Dec. 15, is not meant as a protest of church policy, Ross said/Associated Press. More here.
