Minsters: valley need to be By Jeanne Thayne . Four local ministers responding respond-ing to the question Tm not Mormon. Mor-mon. Is that a problem?" told Chamber members that "no" it's not a problem, but people moving here have to be realistic. The ministers from four local churches were guests at the First Friday Forum of the ProvoOrem Chamber of Commerce luncheon meeting held at Excelsior Hotel. The topic lured visitors from throughout the valley and reaped lots of comments. Gordon Grant, Pastor of the Provo Community Congregational Congregation-al Church, United Church of Christ, said being a minority anywhere is a problem but in this valley "the greatest problem is lack of understanding or interest." Pastor Grant said the problem starts in elementary school when young members of other churches are told they "don't go to the true church" or they "get slapped or kicked if they wear a cross," said Grant. 'This is not intentional or malicious," he emphasized, but said it just gets worse. In high school children of other churches are often invited to the "ward" but if they ask their Mormon friends to visit their church, the IDS parents resist. "Its as if they think if you are not LDS you have no standards or morals. The subtle message is: you are not quite good enough." Father Garrett Edmonds, Pastor Pas-tor at St. Francis of Assisi Church in Provo, said he is here because he wants to be and enjoys it immensely. im-mensely. But he said being a minority is as if one "whole segment seg-ment of society is invisible." He said he stopped by Albertsons near the Catholic Church where he serves.

Now ASSE has changed all that," said Khaleghi, Students, Stu-dents, 15 to 18 years old, qualify on the basis of academic performance, perform-ance, character references, and a genuine desire to experience life Newcomers to L v- V!

"ASSE families abroad are carefully screened to provide a caring environment in which students stu-dents can leam the language and culture of their host country," explained ex-plained Khaleghi.

Pastor Scott McKinney of the Evangelical Free Church in Orem offered several suggestions to alleviate al-leviate the problems encountered by minority religious groups: give more minorities opportunities to participate. Do not assume every student should be enrolled in seminary; have more ongoing McKinney said if more Mormons Mor-mons practiced and emphasized their 11th Article of Faith, this truly would be America's most livable liv-able place. The 11th Article teaches tolerance of other peoples and faiths. Pastor McKinney said newcomers new-comers will feel the pressure of a proselyting faith. "It's not easy to be confronted...people need to be appreciated despite their differen-ces...people differen-ces...people should not be labeled anti-Mormon if they reject it." He told the Chamber to go ahead and invite people to come on out here, but "tell them to be realistic, study and understand the culture." Dr. Alan Condie Tull, Rector at St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Provo, emphasized the kindliness of his LDS neighbors. He spoke about defining oneself. "I am Episcopalian, Epis-copalian, not non-Mormon." He said every religion has its crazies, and bigots. He said there are lots of places in the world just like this valley with a stable population that is not cosmopolitan. He said, "It's all right to have problems, but the worst thing is to think you're better than anyone else. Let's welcome and celebrate diversity as a hallmark of the United States. It's not right to single out minorities." friends. "ASSE exchange students stu-dents learn by living the language and culture of their new host country," she said.
