A friend posted this article yesterday on facebook from Huffington Post, it made me happy to hear him say that he doesn't agree with people supporting this show. I really loved hearing what the Church had to say in response...
"The production may attempt to entertain audiences for an evening, but the Book of Mormon as a volume of scripture will change people's lives forever by bringing them closer to Christ."
...what a beautiful response, not rude but still able to share what we believe to be the truth. I hope that others can find what I and many more have found to be true, the Book of Mormon does change lives forever, a change that I am so grateful to have had.
I too was shocked to hear about this musical. And then it just made me sad. The ignorance these guys show in their production is astounding. I also wondered why these people constantly feel the need to poke fun of and mock us. I got my answer in Conference in Elder Nelson's talk: "The forces of evil will ever be in opposition of the forces of good."
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping the show bombs and will close prematurely!
