From Logan to St. George and beyond, the religious divide between Latter-day Saints and their neighbors is a frequent source of tension for Utahns — as evidenced in a recent series from The Salt Lake Tribune.
So, what to do about it? The Tribune offered a few ideas, garnered from interviews. But the response from readers made it clear: We had only scratched the surface.
That is why this Wednesday, we’re gathering for a solutions-based community discussion on how to foster better relationships between members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and their neighbors of other faiths, or no faith at all.
Join us from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at The Leonardo, 209 E. 500 South, in downtown Salt Lake City, for a panel discussion and audience participation. The event is free and open to all. Simply RSVP here.
Attendees will hear from The Tribune religion team — senior religion reporter Peggy Fletcher Stack, religion reporter Tamarra Kemsley and Senior Managing Editor David Noyce — along with Salt Lake City Council member Victoria Petro, Latter-day Saint bishop and school principal Matthew Teitter, and faith transition coach Jana Spangler.
