Author Says LDS Church Historically Suports Church-State Separation

Yesterday's Salt Lake Tribune carries an article by author Gary Bergera chronicling a long history of formal pronouncements of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in support of separation of church and state. This article comes as the media focus more and more on the views of Mitt Romney, the Mormon former governor of Massachusetts who is seeking the Republican nomination for the Presidency in 2008. Yesterday Romney gave the commencement address Regent University, founded by televangelist Pat Robertson. He did not discuss his religious beliefs in his address. (Washington Post).
