Tribune columnist Gordon Monson on three types of Latter-day Saints.
There are as many levels of faith in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as there are members, basically because no two believers are exactly alike.
These folks are fervent, easy believers. And that’s what works for them. When they go to church, they not only want to hear the good, traditional word, the same word that many of them were fed when they werein the same manner Grandma and Grandpa did 50 years ago. They like church stuff done the way they’ve always been done. These are the people who thought the shift from aon campus, they accepted it as the Almighty’s will because, well, that’s what they do, but it was an adjustment.
They ponder these things in and along their faith journey because they are significant to them and because church doctrines stir in them these kinds of thoughts. They believe God wants them to think things through, to use their cognitive processes in conjunction with the force of faith to live complete lives, here and in the hereafter. They want it to make sense.
