A Letter from the LDS Church

Utah Partnerships for Christ received a letter from the LDS church on November 22, 2005.

The reason this letter is being posted is because I want you to see how the hierarchy of the Mormon church desires to limit the “free agency” (an LDS term) of those with spiritual convictions other than their own. I believe there is a strong passive-aggressive tone to this letter, as the the Mormon church requests that our bright, wonderful young people stop carrying out the Great Commission at places that are clearly marked- “Visitors Welcome”

I wonder if the LDS church headquarters would comply if I asked them to stop sending their international army of 60,000 missionaries to our doorsteps?

I would love to know what you think about this letter.  Feel free to pass it on.

I know for UPFC, we have continued to let the Holy Spirit guide us as to where we go when carrying out the Great Commission.

May we never be pressured to stop sharing the truth in love,

Russ East
Director, UPFC

    Very passive agressive tone here. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit does not ever recieve cease and desist letters like this one!

    Isn’t that the truth. Jesus says in Matthew 10: 16-18 he will send us out into the wolves and they will deliver us up before COUNSELS and scourge us in their SYNAGOGS. Jesus knew very well what a missionary would soon face once in the mission field.
