There's a piece in The Atlantic about returning to the piano. Not too far in the author mentions the Mormon Church, and practicing at the ward house, and that his mom was ward organist.
https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2022/10/rediscovering-the-piano-childhood-memories-adulthood/671706/I love the piano, but when I got to the Mormon reference, I mentally grimaced, recalling a couple other Mormon friendly pieces in recent history, and thought that adding "Mormon" to church doesn't really add anything to the story, and could have just been "church" in a general sense, but, you know, Mormons have to get TCOJCOLDS into everything.
But I was surprised as the narrative progressed.
I'm curious what other folks think of this piece. Especially relative to "The Most American Religion" piece they published a couple years ago (https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2021/01/the-most-american-religion/617263/)
