Clarification from Elder Oaks

Elder Dallin H. Oaks recently gave a wonderful address about free exercise of religion. I urge you to click on the link and read the entire address. It is a wonderful read. After he gave this speech, a storm of complaints rained down from critics of the church. He does a wonderful job in this short video of answering many of the unfounded criticisms of his talk and explaining his position. Thanks Deon for the video!

Hopefully as Americans we can look past our differences and above all else be respectful. As he said in this video, there is no place in a democratic society for intimidation and trying to silence the opposition.

Nice! Sad that most of the criticism came from members themselves.
