Washington Post: What makes Mormons tick?

I’ve lost count of the journalists who have called the offices of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints over the past few months, wanting to figure out what makes Mormons tick. At peak times, we’ve taken several dozen calls in a single day. The total number must be up in the hundreds, maybe more than a thousand. And, of course, we’ve seen a steady procession of media visitors to Salt Lake City to look at everything from the world’s largest missionary training center to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to how we handle humanitarian services.
