Dallin H. Oaks, the next in line to lead The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, expressed concern over members' rejection of those outside the faith. He called for members to be kind and considerate towards all, especially after a Salt Lake Tribune report highlighted difficulties faced by children of non-LDS parents in making friends with Latter-day Saint peers.
Su llamado sigue a una serie especial del Salt Lake Tribune que indica que algunos padres de Utah son reacios a fomentar amistades entre personas de distintas religiones.En un sermón de Navidad en el que instó a la “paz y la buena voluntad” para todos, el apóstol mayor Dallin H. Oaks , el siguiente en la línea de sucesión para dirigir La Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días, reprendió a los miembros que rechazan a quienes no son de la fe.
Un informe especial del Salt Lake Tribune de agosto sugiere que el líder de la iglesia tiene motivos para estar preocupado, al menos en lo que respecta al Beehive State. En entrevista tras entrevista sobre la división religiosa de Utah, los padres describieron las dificultades de sus hijos para hacer amistad con sus compañeros Santos de los Últimos Días.
Los residentes del lado oeste de Salt Lake City describieron repetidamente un entorno en el que los vecinos y compañeros de clase se mezclaban libremente, independientemente de la religión. Oaks alentó a sus oyentes a “superar las barreras y promover la comprensión y el amor con personas de todas las razas, credos y orígenes nacionales”.
Tamara Runia, primera consejera del programa mundial de las Mujeres Jóvenes de la Iglesia, exhortó a los oyentes a invocar la gracia de Dios “ahora mismo, no al final del camino, cuando sientan que todo está perfectamente resuelto”.
