“The coming reconfiguration of Latter-day Saint politics”

An interesting opinion piece on the recent brief by “Mormon scholars” — I, too, was among the nineteen signers — regarding Mr. Trump’s executive orders on immigration:

I wonder whether the argument or prediction is right.  In some ways, as both a Latter-day Saint and a serious political conservative — which I don’t confuse with one another, although I don’t think they’re entirely distinct — I’m not altogether sure that I hope that it is.  Though I believe strongly in tolerance within (and without) the Kingdom.

Spencer Fluhman is the still-relatively-new director of the current Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship at BYU.
