What They're Saying About "Us"
Washington Post: The Mormon obsession
MR says: This author makes it a point to defend the Church from the media's current take on Mormonism. The New York Times' Jodi Kantor has a piece on Mitt Romney’s Mormonism. It is largely sympathetic and reveals, despite Kantor’s thesis that everything you need to know about Romney boils down to...
Washington Post: 'London Calling' for teens at Mormon prom
MR says: Kind of cool that the Washington Post picked up a story on "Mormon prom." A procession of limousines dropped off young people dressed in tuxedos and evening gowns to the Annandale, Virginia stake center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints last weekend. When the teens entered, they...
With or without Romney, D.C. a surprising Mormon stronghold
MR says: This article is making its way around all the national media outlets--have you read it? A few hundred Mormons filed into a chapel just outside the Washington Beltway one recent Sunday to hear a somewhat unusual presentation: an Obama administration official recounting his conversion to...
Aussie Mormon mother gets ahead on her motor bike
MR says: They get a few things wrong, but overall the feature is nice. Most picture Mormon missionaries in suits, spurning tea and coffee. But as the ''stormin' Mormon'' Mitt Romney makes a bid for the White House, there is renewed interest in the faith, which has been linked with polygamy and...
Washington Post: How the Mormon church teaches priesthood holders to lead
MR says: Do you think priesthood duties are responsible for so many successful Mormon businessmen? This piece is part of a joint On Faith - On Leadership series exploring the Mormon experiences that have helped shaped Mitt Romney’s leadership style, with pieces contributed by promiment Mormon writers and...
Columnist misrepresents LDS Church doctrine and policy
MR says: Come on media, try a little harder, please. New York Post columnist Maureen Callahan recently tried to explain to her readers the ecclesiastical implications for Mitt and Ann Romney and their activity in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints if the family ends up living in the White...
New guide advises Evangelicals on how to talk to Mormons
MR says: An Evangelical preacher says understanding the LDS faith isn’t just about being nice, it’s a Christian mandate. He's even written a new book on it. Richard Mouw never intended to start a riot within the Evangelical community by saying his fellow believers had "sinned against Mormonism." But...
Ohio Mormons committed to their faith
MR says: This Ohio newspaper features Cleveland members and what it's like to be a Mormon. Trevar Dahl spends an hour before school each morning studying the Bible with seven other teens. “It’s the best way to start the day, and it helps us with a pretty good knowledge of scripture,” said Trevar, a...
Meet the Preppers... and the Mormons (Part 1)
MR says: A feature on a member who runs a Bishop's Storehouse. In this week's cover story about survivalists, I speak with a man who identifies himself only as "Bowreeguard," who hails from hard-granite New Hampshire and says that prepping was a way of life for his family when he was growing up. The...
Jon Stewart defends Mormonism on 'The Daily Show'
On "The Daily Show" Wednesday night, comedian Jon Stewart went out of his way to defend both Mitt Romney and the LDS Church. Although he's not known as the greatest Romney fan, he took time to critique people from both sides who have essentially been Mormon-bashing. He begins by calling out...
Mitt Romney, Mormons brace for a mean political season
MR says: Most national newspapers have picked up this story. Have you read it yet? As 20,000 members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints streamed from the church conference center, a ragtag group of protesters stood across the street shouting that the Latter-day Saints were going to hell....
Would America elect a Mormon?
Over the years, political prejudice for every religion has almost disappeared with the exception of Mormonism, which has actually risen. Why? For most of American history, voters wanted their president to be white, Protestant and male. But such prejudices have eroded — dramatically, in some...
The Mormon way of business
MR says: A look at the large number of successful Mormons, and some thoughts on the reasons for it. Jokes about sacred underpants have reached epidemic proportions, thanks to Mitt Romney’s presidential bid and the musical masterpiece by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, “The Book of Mormon”. But the Church...
House candidate and rising GOP star is black, female - and Mormon
To call Mia Love a minority is an understatement. She’s a black woman who won an upset primary race to become the Republican candidate in Utah’s 4th Congressional District. If elected, she’d be the first black Republican congresswoman in the House of Representatives. Love, who has...
'Time to shatter Mormon myths' column spreads across the country
MR says: Have you read the column yet? It's an interesting read. Over the weekend, newspapers in places such as Chicago, Indiana and Maine published "Time to shatter Mormon myths," the syndicated editorial by Dallas Morning News columnist William McKenzie that first ran April 23. "Mormons have a teachable...
