On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by attorney Kolby Reddish to discuss the possibility of the proposed Fairview TX LDS temple becoming a test case for RLUIPA in the higher courts.

Drawing on an excellent blog post by Lisa Torcasso Downing, creator of the “Life Outside the Book of Mormon Belt” blog, we explore Dallin H. Oaks’ involvement in the precursor to RLUIPA and RLUIPA itself.

The LDS church has a history of pushing test cases to a higher court, and we consider this as a big picture possibility with the Fairview TX LDS Temple.
