NeuroTypical Posted May 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Oh, no particular reason. I like to see our church leaders meeting with folks on items of mutual interest. This maybe isn't as cool as when we meet with US presidents or the Pope, but it's still cool. It's also evidence that we're not the racist club some of our critics accuse of being.

Just_A_Guy Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Someone—a person who knew this meeting was coming—went to an awful lot of trouble to spread the story that an apology by the LDS Church had been made. lostinwater and Midwest LDS 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really sad. i guess an advertising industry desperate for the revenue of the ad clicks associated with sensationalized stories will parrot back almost anything you send them without checking sources. Change and reconciliation should be encouraged - not something you try and humiliate someone else with.

It is “a performance common to many white progressives,” the group wrote in an email, “particularly those affiliated with the LDS Church.” LOL.
