What political party does Sara belong to? Bet you guess wrong . . .

Jeff and I have been following Mitt Romney's campaign fairly closely recently, and perhaps you've caught some of the news . . . or not. We have been fascinated by some of the press he is receiving, particularly since we share something in common with him--our religion. I thought I'd toss this article out from the LA Times. I was particularly impressed with it's resemblance to the experiences that we have had in regard to church and politics. It has an excellent summary of church policies on politics, as well as how those policies are put into practice on a pragmatic level. Here's another one from the Rochester paper I read growing up, the Democrat and Chronicle, written by a lay leader in my parents congregation. (Correct me if I'm wrong, Dad.) He summarizes quickly a bit of the debate going on between Mormons and many other Christian faiths. Regardless of the final outcome of Romney's campaign, we are intrigued by the burgeoning conversation happening right now in the national media about our faith. It provides an opportunity for dialogue, and greater understanding--and those are always good things. And if you're wondering what the answer to the title question is . . . having grown up the daughter of a Republican who hangs signed pictures of Bush on the walls, and a strident die-hard Democrat, I am (drum roll, please) a conficted undecided Independent!
