The 2008 Proposition 8 campaign in California represented a high-water mark for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—not since the 1970s had the Church become so publicly engaged with a politicized issue. Lower-profile efforts had been (and continue to be) standard operating procedure, and so the mobilization of Church members' time and money through letters read over the pulpit in sacrament meetings (i.e., the main Sunday worship meeting) was a departure from the norm. (The pro-Proposition 8 coalition also included Catholics, whose church spearheaded the effort, Protestants, Muslims, Jewish groups, and Evangelicals.)
