Paul Reeve was in the small day-long gathering up in Park City in which I participated last week.  So were two black LDS women, one of whom coincidentally commented that, while Sunday mornings are the most segregated time of the week in contemporary American life, Mormons have no racially-based or racially-segregated congregations.  Our image notwithstanding, we never have.

 

But, of course, that remains very little known.
