Many people astonished at the LDS even-tempered response to this objectionable play

Missionaries around the world use "The Book of Mormon" satirical play to advantage

From Australia to New York to Stockholm (see attached photo) missionaries adopt a good-natured attitude towards an objectionable portrayal of our missionaries and the Church in the Broadway play "The Book of Mormon."  In New York City the Church leased huge signs in Times Square urging, "Now that  you've seen the play, read the book!"  Editoroials and articles in newspapers and other media throughout the world comment on the good-natured attitude taken by LDS people and compare it to opposite reactions from others to criticism and derision.
