from Interfaith Conversations · host Matthew McKnight
Every religion or belief produces its own “fruit” from the context in which it developed. In this episode, I share the perspective a Latter-day Saint from the Church of Jesus Christ brings to interfaith conversations.The four “fruits” from my own religious tradition that I share in this episode are:We respect everyone's privilege of following their own conscience (religious freedom) We seek for truth, wherever we find itWe value caring for others beyond our own faithWe strive to become peacemakers and bridge buildersCome learn with us!Resources Recension of mormon extermination orderhttps://www.news-leader.com/story/news/local/ozarks/2018/09/01/missouri-executive-order-44-mormon-war/1147461002/https://www.sos.mo.gov › 19760625_RescisOrderThe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints population growth 1924 - 2024https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/growth-of-the-church-from-1924-to-2024Early Church History quotations on Religious Freedomhttps://www.josephsmithpapers.org/articles/religious-freedom1978 Church Statement on great religious leaders and thinkers of the worldhttps://catalog.churchofjesuschrist.org/assets/06d52821-9342-4f20-9cb3-358e6f8c8bfa/0/0The Church’s 2023 summary for Caring for those in needhttps://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/serve/caring/annual-summary?lang=eng President Nelson Sermons and Peace Prize“Peacemakers Needed”https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2023/04/47nelson?lang=eng“Let God Prevail“https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2020/10/46nelson?lang=engPeace Prize Infohttps://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/the-prophet-receives-gandhi-king-mandela-peace-prize
