While I don't agree with mormonism, and would never ask a Mormon to occupy the pulpit at our church, Beck speaks of "his faith" and sounds so very "mainstream Christian".

Are you saying the more "counterfeit" you are the more "credence" Christian leaders should give a person?

Not at all. I just wonder how in-depth his “faith” is in Mormon teaching/doctrine.

But as this all relates to the original article and the bru-haha over the speaker at a commencement event. Did the other guests speakers over the years get this sort of “outrage”? Episcopalians, Roman Catholics, and even non-aligned folks (which could mean a whole lot of things).

I once heard a fellow give a motivational and encouraging speech - he was Hindu. The speech had nothing to do specifically with faith - but with taking on the world. Is my sincere enjoyment of that speech an endorsement of Hinduism?

LIberty didn’t invite Beck to preach from the pulpit, nor to share doctrinal beliefs, but to speak to core conservative values (which are actually common to Mormons and all Bible-believing Christians).
