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
