Hurtful evangelism
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2007, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.

I was appalled to read your front-page story (“Anti-Mormon group gives away DVDs in pre-LDS Conference campaign,” March 27) on the Christian evangelicals' crude attempt to “shake Mormons' faith.”

This is a hurtful form of evangelism, as I am sure many other denominations and faith traditions would agree. It does not speak well of one's own faith community to attack the faith of others - apart from being an inaccurate piece of work. I hope all of us will promote our own faith traditions in a positive and inviting way and not at the expense of others.
