Don Lattin (Published Freelance) interviewed Mark Henkel - Aug 2006

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed on August 15, 2006, by Dan Lattin, a freelance writer for various publications who had formerly been the Religion Writer for the San Francisco Chronicle and its Sunday Magazine.  Published by Harper Collins, the writer is also an author of books about religion, faith, and spirituality.  (See DonLattin.com.) This interview occurred 5 months after HBO's premiere of its fictional TV show, "Big Love," about a Mormon Polygamous family.   Even so, the writer had done his homework and was aware of the difference between Mormon Polygamy and Christian Polygamy - even knowing about the latter's official standard of "Love-Not-Force."  For this interview, the writer was deliberately gathering in-depth information about Christian Polygamy for an essay/article that he would be independently pitching to such various other publications, including Vanity Fair.  This hour-long interview provides a comprehensive education about the movement, about its arguments and history, as well as about Mark Henkel himself (even about his church experience and background).  Regarding the scriptural and political arguments Mark Henkel makes for Christian Polygamy, the writer himself even positively proclaimed, "I actually think you DO have a very good argument. I mean it's kind of hard to refute your argument." http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com
