A closer look at Mormon beliefs

Re “A look at Mormon theology and practice,” Dec. 16

General questions. General answers. Mormons fought the federal government for years before they gave up polygamy. And then it was only after the government had a law to take away the Mormon church’s property. It was then that the church president had a revelation to stop polygamy.

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I am grateful for The Times’ article responding to many of the questions about Mormon beliefs. Misinformation and distortions are seen frequently in the media. Thank you for a clear, concise and accurate presentation of the teachings of my church. The understanding of some teachings requires an understanding of related teachings. The article gave some relevant context to the answers. Thank you for the space to provide the context.
