And ours does. If dads can be there, he wants them there. If not, then no boy is denied the opportunity to go. But the fact that he has his own stricter policy does create some confusion as to what church policy is.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
