What a wonderful article and a wonderful and understanding visit by a servant of Jesus Christ whose mind accepts truth. Much good will come of this

Nice review Reverend. Take a look at the Saints in your area around Perth, WA and I think you'll be just as impressed. Good on Ya Mate!

I wonder how many souls will be inspired to embrace a new feeling of tolerance for the church by this experience. The Holy Spirit is still alive and working in our lives.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if all people could have the opportunity to visit and learn about our religion, and be as open minded as this Reverend was!

Thankyou for putting this article out there. We have had eggs thrown at our windows, petitions to kick us out of the street, anti-Mormon literature in our letter-box and our cars vandalized because we are open about being LDS and yet we live in a bible belt of Sydney Australia. It would be a handy article to show our offenders.

My ward, in a rural community, will be attempting to bring the local churches together in an effort to heighten our mutual security. I perceive through this article a way to do that. Thanks to all who were involved; including an unnamed General Authority; for accomplishing this effort in such a way Rev Hartley would write this letter. Thanks also to Meridian for printing it.
