With it looking more and more likely that Mitt Romney will be the presidential nominee of the Republican Party, I suspect pastors may hear discussion and get questions about Mormonism.
Here is page with a link to a study document that the United Methodist Church put together. The document “Sacramental Faithfulness” touches on many of the theological issues and explains why the UMC does not recognize Mormon baptism as a valid sacrament.
I’d be interested in some ways — if any — pastors have thought about engaging with such issues in the months ahead. The news media will likely offer much information. What should we in the local churches be saying or doing?

This love we believe to be the medicine of life, the never-failing remedy for all the evils of a disordered world, for all the miseries and vices of men. Wherever this is, there are virtue and happiness going hand in hand. There is humbleness of mind, gentleness, long-suffering, the whole image of God; and at the same time a peace that passeth all understanding, and joy unspeakable and full of glory.

At times I have offered a study on “Cults and Sects” so to speak, in which I have covered Mormonism amongst others (new-age, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Scientology, etc.). I don’t recall having taught it in my current appointment, so I have recently been mulling over breaking it out again, specifically because of the likely GOP nominee.
I continue to be shocked and saddened whenever evangelical groups have Glenn Beck — loyal LDS member — speak at their gatherings. Gateway Church in suburban Dallas was the latest such group to put political popularity over theological integrity.
