New Blog Coming Soon about Mormons and Protestants

The first Thanksgiving feast took place in 1621.  It marked a momentous occasion as one of the few friendships between European settlers and Native Americans, who usually came into conflict due to mutually exclusive goals of settling the American continent.  However, this blog isn’t about pilgrims and Native Americans, it is about two other groups: Evangelicals and Mormons. 

Unlike English settlers and Native Americans, Mormons and Evangelicals actually have a mutually inclusive goal: eternal life for ourselves and for each other.  However, since we each believe that only our own methods are effective for obtaining eternal life, we often come into conflict. 

Is there a way for us to put aside our differences and get along, despite our different perspectives?

I will soon be coauthoring a blog with my Protestant friend, Neil Hess and discussing some of the challenges our groups face and some ways to move past them.
