The mainstreaming of Mormonism

I remember, as a missionary in Bolivia, picking up a newspaper one morning and reading the word “Mormon” on the front page. I was stunned.

Up until that moment, I’d never read the word “Mormon” in print that hadn’t been written by a Mormon. This, however, was a column about American Imperialism by the editor of a major La Paz daily.

In sarcastic tones, the editor wrote, “Even God is American now. He’s Mormon.”
