Mormons seem to be “shocked, shocked” and offended that Baptists would use door-to-door evangelism in Utah. Apparently, caring for the eternal destiny of those who are lost is forboden, especially by future presidential candidates.

When the Baptists came here, they thought they could provoke some kind of confrontation, or get some headlines. Instead, our church leaders advised us to be kind and friendly. To “kill them with kindness,” as it were. That’s what happened, and the Baptists left with neither converts nor headlines.
IIRC correctly, it was around that time that Jerry Falwell modified his stance from “Mormons are going to Hell,” to “Mormons are nice people. Too bad they are going to Hell.” LOL.
