Earlier this week, Mormon feminist Kate Kelly was excommunicated from the LDS Church. Leaders in her former Virginia ward said her ongoing effort to secure women's ordination to the all-male priesthood constituted "conduct contrary to the laws and order of the Church." Wednesday, we're asking what her excommunication means, not just for Kelly personally, but for all women and activists in the LDS Church. Kelly will join Doug. He'll also talk to Mormon commentator NeylanMcBaine and historian Amanda Hendrix-Komoto.

We should mention that professionally, McBaine is a creative director for the advertising agency Bonneville Communications, owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She is not, however, speaking on behalf of the Church. Her opinions are her own.
