Panel: Dr. Jeffrey Silliman (President, Salt Lake Theological Seminary), Pastor Ray Smith (Sr. Pastor, Salt Lake Christian), Jordan Barrett (Grad student, Wheaton College), John Zarbock (LDS bishop, Sandy, Utah), Jerry Hansen (Professor, Brigham Young University – Idaho), and Jacob Farnsworth (Student, Brigham Young University)
Topic: Is Anything Changed? Evangelical and LDS perspectives of changes and how they impact the churches today.
I found this extremely jarring when Dr. Silliman stated, “Doctrines [LDS] are not changing. But this is alright.” I wasn’t impressed at all.
I really appreciated when Jerry mentioned, “We do want to convert each other. Let’s be honest with that.” (Sitting behind him in the last session tonight, we actually met each other. This is the professor who has been teaching “Christian History” to all the BYU-Idaho students.)
