Passionate--formerly Moderate--now Liberal "Mormon"

"But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand." (Isaiah 32:8). A faithful yet unique perspective from members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Ac Y Bardd Geraint Fychan, Mab Brycheiniog

Mission Statement:

I am pretty liberal politically. However, there is no way to classify me as a "liberal Mormon" as I choose to support all official doctrine and policy of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as I fight against aspects of unofficial "cultural" Mormonism. And being passionately moderate in temperament (mostly), I still remain a Passionate, Moderate Member of the restored Church of Jesus Christ. I changed the masthead in response to the presidential election of 2016. While my political liberalism would be considered moderate in many places of the U.S. (the East and West Coasts for example), I think I will stick to my "Liberal" title of Liberty.

I am not an official spokesperson for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And I am now a retired federal attorney so I certainly don't speak for any governmental agency.

I should also add that I do not speak for my extended family. Some of them have let me know, in no uncertain terms, that they do not share my views. Fine with me. I don't share some of theirs.
