Mormon Apologists Gather, But Not to Apologize
The Deseret News’ Joseph Walker reports on the annual conference of the Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research (FAIR), held last week in Sandy, Utah. While the organization is not directly owned by the LDS Church, FAIR’s mission is to “address the charges leveled at the doctrines, practices and leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with documented responses that are written in an easily understandable style.” “Members of the church are facing a more pressing need to defend the church and to explain difficult issues,” says FAIR’s public relations director, Steve Densley Jr. “FAIR helps meet those needs.”
