First Online News Conference

In an effort to help shape it's image, the church participated in it's first ever online news conference.  Mitt Romney's candidacy has brought heightened focus on the church and the church wants to be part of the voice of how the media defines the church.

Elder Ballard responded to the following questions.  Video of his responses are in the following links:

1. Are you Christian? What is the role of Jesus Christ in your faith?
2. Do you worship Jesus Christ in your Sunday services?
3. Why do some people say you are a cult?
4. In what ways are you similar to other Christians?
5. In what ways do you differ from other Christians?
6. Was Joseph Smith a prophet? Are prophets necessary today?
7. Is there scientific proof authenticating the Book of Mormon?
8. Does the Church support political candidates?
