How should we deal with the undertone of politically conservative comments at church? Should we speak up or should we avoid confrontation? If we invite liberal friends to church, should we apologize for comments that can come across as offensive?
"The LDS Left," inspired by a Facebook group of the same name, is a joint project by a group of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who find themselves leaning towards various degrees of the left side of the political spectrum, as well as members of the Church who regard themselves as being more liberally-minded or unorthodox in their views and practicing of the faith. This blog is a branch of our quarterly newsletter publication and will feature the main articles shortly after the release of each issue. To subscribe to "The LDS Left" PDF newsletter, please send a request to theldsleft@gmail.com
Recognizing that each person is at a different level of spiritual progression and has received personal revelation regarding his/her own political and spiritual beliefs, comments bringing the testimonies or personal worthiness of others may be removed. Because this blog is not endorsed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commenters are free to question Church policy related to politics in an open, honest, and respectful manner. Religious intolerance in the form of bashing Mormonism or any other sect will not be tolerated. Any comment deemed to be offensive and in violation of our policy is subject to removal without warning.
