The link to his blog does not list his address at BYU. I used the search engine provided on his blog for "BYU" and "no matches were found". Did he not list this address on his blog? Anyone found the full address?

Well, if we're not good enough to spend time together in the same heaven, at least we're good enough to "do time together" here on earth.

I'm very glad to see such a man make a gracious comment about being glad to have Mormon neighbors. I likewise am happy to have devout people of any religion as neighbors, since they always honor family, virtue, and good living.
I think it will be alot of fun to talk in heaven with Baptists and look back on how silly our disagreements were down here.

I don't think it behooves us to comment on his concept of heaven. He was invited to BYU to speak on something important to both religions and he did so in a great way. Great talk and maybe if we set a good example of Christ centered love he will eventually see the truth.

Hardly a gracious comment made to someone he hopes will be an ally. Why would you want to be an ally with someone you believe is going to the other place? I feel a paradox here in this man's sentiments.

The Baptist concept of heaven is exactly the terrestrial kingdom. I've always found that to be interesting. He is correct in saying that we need to band together to protect religious freedom, no matter our theological differences.

Actually, Robert, we aren't going to heaven together!! Elder Oaks gave a talk when I was living in Japan. He said not to worry about evangelical or fundamentalist Christians, as they do not know about the Father, only the Son. He said they will be happy in the terrestrial kingdom where the Son will be present. :>)
