Re: Church in England will do background checks to protect children
Note that it remains to be seen how fervently the church enforces these new rules.

Re: Dispensationalism and Mormonism
I too wonder at the amazing parallels between "Evangelical Christianity" and Mormonism. Clearly the "prophets" have been influenced by their cousins to the east.

Re: The “Plan of Happiness” has evolved into the “Covenant Path”
