A leading evangelical speaks at the Mormon Tabernacle and says evangelicals
have spread lies about LDS beliefs.
For the first time in 105 years, non-Mormons mounted the pulpit at the
Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City on Nov. 14. The event, dubbed an "
Evening of Friendship," was organized by Standing Together, a network of 100
evangelical churches trying to improve relations with members of The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Historical animosity dating back to
the founding of the LDS Church has heightened in recent years between the
two groups, particularly in the 1990s, when high-profile evangelical leaders
said that Mormons are not Christians and the Southern Baptist Convention
held one of its annual meetings in Salt Lake City, partially with the goal
of converting Mormons to evangelical Protestantism.
In what the Deseret News referred to as "stunningly candid" comments, Fuller
Theological Seminary president and Beliefnet columnist Richard J. Mouw
apologized to Mormons for evangelicals' tendency to distort the truth about
Latter-day Saints' beliefs. "Let me state it clearly. We evangelicals have
sinned against you," Mouw said. The speech is making the rounds among
surprised and generally pleased evangelical and Mormon groups. We reprint
the remarks below. |
