Pastor Ed Young of Fellowship Church is drawing criticism for inviting Mormon speaker and author Glenn Beck to speak during his Sunday service as part of Young's Freedom Experience event.

A lot of Christians were miffed that a Mormon was invited to speak during a Southern Baptist Church service.

However, Andy Boyd, a spokesman for Fellowship Church, explained that Beck was invited since he is a known American historian. Boyd also cited Beck for having "shown his love for God in many ways."
