I do not have a clue as to what Gresham's position is on on Knerr's sermons. You are certainly welcome to ask him.

> Hi Roger,
> I am not in the habit of publishing rumors.  The link in the email will lead you directly to the text of the sermon delivered by Mr. Knerr.  Further, I am not commenting on either the theological tenets of the LDS church, or for that matter the beliefs of members of Freeze Community Church.  What I am drawing attention to is the hateful rhetoric coming out of Mr. Knerr's mouth.  I felt like I was living in 1890 Idaho where LDS members were prosecuted by self-righteous bigots.  If the sneering and insulting tone of this sermon reflects the attitude of Freeze Community church members toward our LDS friends and neighbors I am certain that Mr. Bouma would not be an effective (if elected) representative of Latah County.

> I am not in the habit of passing on rumors. I do not know Lloyd Knerr, but do know members of the Freeze Church. They are all fine people. I am not a Mormon, but do have friends and family that are. Some of the things that you attribute to Mr. Knerr may well have been part of the original tenets of The LDS church. I do not know of any Mormons that ascribe to them today. I would be curious about whether you are just as concerned about Obama seting in Reverend Wrights church for 20 years.
