Added to RELIGIOUS FREEDOM Badcomma as 161 Update. Wow
Refreshing perspectives, I appreciate the full presentation.
Sorry but occasionally I get a little political and I really like this talk. The video is worth your time; starts by jumping 38 in, best part to me was at 54 in.
Quotes Elder Oaks: “Differences on precious fundamentals are with us forever. We must not let them disable our democracy or cripple our society. This does not anticipate that we will deny or abandon our differences but that we will learn to live with those laws, institutions, and persons who do not share them. We may have cultural differences, but we should not have ‘culture wars.’”
Elder Oaks was president of BYU while I was there, luckily I got to hear a lot of talks by him in person. For example, in the Marriott activity center one Devotional when he walked in there was a new distinctive holy feeling, normally only felt when the Prophet entered: Power of Christ emulating from him which I still feel as it has never left me, started and never left, a continuing now presence!
