C: I think people who do things on their own are often in tension with Church authorities because the pattern is that so much direction comes from on high. But I think you can organize your energy so you can work in a trickle down position yourself. That’s the way I see it. For my purposes, I just do what I think until I get in some sort of difficult situation, then I just move on. Last year, I produced a concert in Carnegie Hall that was a church event. We organized the Mormon oratorio chorus. We had our wonderful singers perform. We raised all the money and produced it for free for Church members and their friends. It was an artistic success, and we filled the house. We were planning to do it again, but the authorities decided it wasn’t “appropriate.” Well, I don’t know why, but there’s no point in worrying about that. You just do something else.
