As it turns out, this isn’t the first time that Huckabee has rubbed Utahans the wrong way. In the summer of 1998, then-Arkansas Gov. Huckabee, along with fellow national church leaders, attended the National Southern Baptist Convention in Salt Lake City.

At the time, the decision to hold the event in the shadow of the Mormon Tabernacle was viewed by many Mormons as an insulting stab directed at the very heart of the LDS church.

If the Methodists or the Greek Orthodox church held their convention next to a Baptist center, would the Baptists see it as "as an insulting stab directed at the very heart of the church"? I don't think so.

Doggone near everybody in Utah who's not a Mormon is a Baptist, and vice versa.

There's probably some friction between these two overwhelming factions ~ and likely some intermarriage or something.

Not likely the Mormons got angry with Baptists holding a convention in SLC ~ provided they paid their bills on time. Now they mighta' got angry with them for not buying enough likker, but that's jes' the Baptist way, eh?!

“If the Methodists or the Greek Orthodox church held their convention next to a Baptist center, would the Baptists see it as “as an insulting stab directed at the very heart of the church”? I don’t think so.”

Depends on if the Methodists/Greek orthodox *also* had speakers and literature calling the Baptists an unChristian dangerous cult that was pulling people away from true faith, and calling on conversion to ‘save’ people. *That* would get anyone peeved, although all reports are the LDS faithful kept their cool.

Yeah, they would. I was raised as a Baptist.
