I think that the many colors and cultures of our brothers and sisters make the church a more beautiful place.

I've been trying to think about what to do about teaching some of these concepts and this is just perfect. <br />My oldest is just starting to learn about the Priesthood being denied to some men, otherwise faithful. It's a painful concept to her. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how to explain this part of our history to our children, too.Elizabeth-Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12215621448451413460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609059070805593973.post-38168810723851270612011-02-11T08:10:05.141-08:002011-02-11T08:10:05.141-08:00Anonymous- That is one awesome quote!

In fact, when I went off to college and visited the nearest ward, I was shocked to see that the entire ward was so white that my dad and brother (who are white with black or VERY dark brown hair and both with farmer's tans that summer) looked like they were mexican or something and were pretty much treated as outcasts. I never went back, btw (though I'm white with blonde hair and blue eyes, I felt very uncomfortable there).<br /><br />I agree that especially within the church we need to show more compassion. More tolerance. More love to one another. This was a fabulously touching post and I'm happy to share it with my family this week. Thank you for your faithfulness in spite of opposition and oppression and for still loving your neighbors. <3Sister B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09108667633984442694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609059070805593973.post-83076542747621860812011-02-10T11:38:31.678-08:002011-02-10T11:38:31.678-08:00I really enjoyed reading this post.

I am part of a multi-cultural family with 4 siblings adopted from Asia, Africa, and Central America. One of my favorite quotations is from Elder Neal A. Maxwell: "God's second commandment, love thy neighbor, clearly leaves no room for racism." It is amazing to me to see the lack of tolerance and the ignorance present in members, even from my own grandparents. I hope your readers take advantage of these great FHE lessons you have prepared and that we can all learn to love one another a little better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
