On Being Progressive and LDS

Submitted by clifflyon on Sun, 2005-11-13 17:24.

Coming soon, Janneke will post here, her observations during the campaign as they relate to being a young democrat Mormon running against her former Stake President.

There has been a great deal of discussion on this subject from LDS and gentiles alike during and since the campaign.

As I said in a early post, its not yet a conversation one hears at church during social time, but it will, and must thanks to George Bush's decision to make his domestic and foreign policy about Christian values, and as Christians, Mormons are clearly intimately aware of the contradictions in the "teachings", and the unfortunate "collateral" cost of innocent Iraqi lives, torture, and the budget slashing of programs that help the poor.

Jim Knowlton began Beehive Donky as the name suggests, as a place to have the conversation.

More soon! - Cliff
