(Ed Stetzer) NASHVILLE (BP) -- Mormonism is something we cannot escape right now. We are in a
"Mormon Moment" thanks to the candidacy of Gov. Mitt Romney. Southern Baptists
need to address this moment with truth and grace.
Richard Land, president
of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, is seldom subtle, speaking
boldly and clearly about what he believes. We've agreed many times and disagreed
a couple. Though I might nuance it differently, I think Southern Baptists would
do well to consider his words in the Washington Post, "I wouldn't call
[Mormonism] a cult but it claims to be Christian and isn't. Its theology is like
a cult but socially and culturally it doesn't act like a cult.... They don't
withdraw, they don't live in communities and they're not like Jehovah's
Witnesses or James Jones."
