[inkling]

I'm risking the sin of political incorrectness, but let's be honest: The LDS faith is wildly different from conventional Christianity. If it weren't, your local ward would have no problems with an evangelical Christian preaching whatever he wanted from your pulpit. But, thank God, we have freedom of religion in this country.

Best,

Got no problems with the LDS believing whatever they want to believe. It's (mostly) still a free country.

But their doctrine on the Trinity and the Incarnation is . . . fairly unique. Which is fine. But I think it's fair to say that it's not mainstream Christian, anyhow.

My cousin converted to the LDS church, and he's had the old college try at converting this Nosebleed-High-Anglican, so I've hammered out doctrinal questions with him pretty thoroughly. (It was a no go on the conversion, which is o.k. too. We have had very friendly and informative discussions, and I mean that in the literal sense, not the diplomatic one.) :D

And given all that is going on with conventional Christianity lately, I say "thank God for that."
