For years, leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been striving to make a difference in the world, and they’ve discovered that teaming up with the United Nations makes a world of difference.
The growing partnership allows this relatively small global faith of 16.5 million members to bring food, shelter and immunizations to countries across the planet.
All these seem laudable goals, but not all church members are happy about the U.N. ties. Indeed, to many of them, the global body is a communist front, or worse, a symbol of the biblical Antichrist.
