How will fascination with Romney's religion play out?
Fascination with the LDS Church and its doctrines continues unabated among national and international media outlets, especially with the possibility of Mitt Romney becoming president of the most powerful nation on Earth. Major publications continue to explore various aspects of Romney's religion, including how it might impact the race. Here's our take on some of the questions being asked:
MTC overflows with LDS missionaries, moves devotionals to Marriott Center
No marathon was scheduled for that day, but on June 11 the march of thousands of missionaries from the Provo Missionary Training Center to the Marriott Center resembled a race. The trek to another location for the usual Tuesday night devotional is seen as a symbol of the increased numbers of missionaries following the age change announcement in the October 2012 general conference.
Australian floods affecting LDS Church missionaries, members
LDS Church missionaries are accounted for while many LDS members and their homes have been affected as the state of Queensland and its capital city of Brisbane have been hit with the the worst flooding in a half a century. More than 200,000 people have been forced from their homes in 31 towns in the region after several weeks of driving rain fell in the tropical northeast. What started as slow-moving flooding became faster, more devastating and contaminated waters as the rain-fed flooding raced to Brisbane, Australia's third-largest city.
The "Mormon Issue" is not going away
It is the number that may very well define the outcome of the 2012 presidential race. Less than a year ago, a Gallup poll revealed that twenty-two percent of Americans said they would not vote for a Mormon to be president. Only atheists and gays rated less popular. And breaking this number down between Republicans and Democrats did not improve the picture. The same poll indicated that twenty percent of Republicans and twenty-seven percent of Democrats would not vote for a Mormon presidential candidate. Gallop also reported that these percentages have remained essentially unchanged since 1967 when the firm first began polling on the issue of Mormons in politics.

Mormons, African Americans face substantial prejudice, poll finds
Substantial prejudice still exists for both Mormons and African Americans, despite shifting views on both groups since Barack Obama and Mitt Romney first ran for president four years ago. Sizable pockets of voters say they would be uncomfortable with a close family member marrying someone who is black or Mormon, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, with Mormons facing slightly more distrust from people outside their community.
Mormons and Baptists compete for converts
Jake Pulsipher's first day as a working missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began at 6:30 a.m. with prayer and exercise, followed by breakfast and study. Then he put on a black suit, white shirt, and red tie, along with his official name tag, and headed out to knock on doors and tell people about Jesus. In doing so, he became the latest of 20,000 Mormon missionaries in the United States.
Mormon ranks growing – especially among minority groups
It's an old question, but Fred Bethel says he still gets asked: How can an African-American like himself be part of the Mormon Church, a religious group that waited until 1978 to allow blacks to become leaders? His response comes easily — because of what the church is today.
