Not One Soul Shall Feel Excluded by Latter-day Saints

Of course, holiness is fairly easy if you don’t care about unity; you just split over every disagreement. Similarly, unity is fairly easy if you don’t care about holiness; anything goes and we shrug our shoulders and ignore it…The world will take no notice of a divided church. The world will take no notice of an unholy church. –NT Wright

In August 2018, BYU professor Eric Huntsman delivered an extraordinary, impassioned devotional address to the BYU community, making the case for a spirit of inclusion in Latter-day Saint ministry. Entitled “Hard Sayings and Safe Spaces,” Huntsman’s address provided examples of bold Christian outreach and engagement among Latter-day Saints, including the Tabernacle Choir’s joint rehearsal with the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus while on tour in California earlier that year.
