RE: [TruthTalk] What is a Christian?

[Debbie Sawczak]

DAVEH:  Most of the early members of the LDS Church were Protestants, so they did have a Protestant flavor, so to speak.  But we don't view that as being the same as the Church being Protestant.   We weren't protesting the RCC folks as such. [Debbie] I was always taught at home that we weren't Protestants either. I have a Mennonite heritage, and my ancestors, who were the soul of meekness and mildness and never protested against anybody, were persecuted plenty by both sides; I think it's the Heidelberg Catechism that refers to Anabaptists as "detestable". I hang out with Reformed people (descendants of the architects of the Heidelberg) and we joke about it.
