Big Love goes to the temple

The controversial episode of Big Love aired over the weekend.

For a well-written report of the episode, see Mormon Mentality's:

Also, today at 11:00 AM MST and 7:00 PM MST, Radio West will discuss the episode:

In the latest episode of HBO's "Big Love," the character Barb is seen taking
part in an LDS temple ceremony. Members of the LDS church consider these
ceremonies private and sacred - and some are calling for a boycott of HBO and
its parent company. Monday on RadioWest, we're using the Big Love example to
ask the question, "What is sacred?" Are there things that should be off limits
in a respectful society, or should art ask us to rethink religion?
