OMG! The Mormons are in the mainstream
By John Freivalds
When the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints bought an old girl’s school in nearby Buena Vista and made it into Southern Virginia University, many of the evangelicals in town greeted them with suspicion. One local minister even went on his pulpit and warned, “You have to watch out for these Mormons; they will get your kids while they are young.”
