On Mormonism and Christian ecclesial identity

The Associated Baptist Press story "The Mormon Moment" by Bob Campbell includes information and a quote from me in paragraphs seven and eight. I declined to opine as to whether Mormons are Christians or are rightly related to God, choosing instead to focus my comments on my awareness of how the relation of Mormonism to Christian ecclesial identity is treated by such institutions of conciliar ecumenism as the World Council of Churches and the National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA:

Steven Harmon, an adjunct professor at Gardner-Webb divinity school and author of Ecumenism Means You, Too, noted that both the World Council of Churches and National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA do not consider the LDS eligible for membership.

I am aware that the National Council of Churches, which is nothing if not an inclusive Christian organization, does officially classify relations with the LDS as interfaith rather than ecumenical,” Harmon said.
