Question... If this was your school...?

“Anti-mormon” attitudes show contradictions in commitment to Wellesley’s values | The Wellesley News

This one was in one of my social media feeds this morning.

Back on April 25th, the linked op/ed appeared in a publication produced by Wellesley College.

The author is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and she's noting what she regards as anti-Mormon sentiment among the staff and students alike.

At first, this was simply professors giving out inaccurate and often distorted versions of settled history.

But in time, it culminated in the campus providing subsidized tickets for the "The Book of Mormon" musical.

To paraphrase the writer, "If I received a dime each time someone decided it was funny to sing the songs from the musical at me, I'd have my full tuition covered."

So...

If you were to witness something like the above, what would you do?

I'd probably get irritated with those who sing the songs from the Book of Mormon, because even though I'm not Mormon myself, I have SEEN the Broadway play in New York City, and I could readily see that its epistemological and theological contents were.......directed not only at Mormons.

Every problem is an opportunity.
When a "Mormon", bothers me by knocking on my door, I use it as an opportunity to teach them the way, but I first let them speak and listen with the attention I desire from them.
