For several years, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been using its website to explain some of its misunderstood practices. The latest effort is a four-minute video about Mormons’ sacred undergarments. It likens them to Judaism’s prayer shawls, Islamic skull caps, or the saffron robes of Buddhist monks, insisting there is nothing magical or mystical about the two-piece white undergarments. They are, says the video, signs of Mormons’ relationship to God and their commitment to living good lives.
