I thought this interview was good and the book sounds fascinating. Marshall Brooks is a nevermo cultural anthropologist who embedded himself in both the active lds and exmo communities to study them after his family moved to Utah.

There is a good interview with Marshall Brooks in today's Salt Lake Tribune:

Upon reading the article, I knew the First Presidency would issue an immediate and inspired response.

Marshall Brooks wrote:If they experience their faith as embodied and experiential vis-à-vis sexuality, then sexuality is also the locus through which faith needs to be undone. What I found fascinating is how sexuality becomes the locus of the undoing of that entrenched feeling of faith.

After a late night revelatory episode by her husband, Sister Nelson released this message bypassing the normal Presidential Newsroom route:

Sister Wendy Nelson wrote:After what we read yesterday, we are calling an immediate session of the Brethren to pray for an army of seagulls to rid us of these locus affecting the faith of our young.
