What do you do if you don’t like your Bishop?
As an active member of the church, I have served in many different callings, including a full time mission to Austrialia. Presently my wife and I are serving as Hosts at the Conference Center. We have five children.
Last Saturday I was giving a tour at the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Conference Center and a man visiting from another area of the country asked me, after briefly discussing how the church was organized, what we did when we didn’t like our Bishop. He said, “Do you vote him out or do you just move to another congregation?” He was very serious and we talked about the church.
He had genuine interest about some of the things in the church. He wanted to know about the Book of Mormon. He had the idea that it was the same as the Bible and that there was not a lot of difference. I gave him a short explanation of the Book of Mormon. As we walked through the exhibit of Arnold Friberg’s Book of Mormon pictures, we talked about Apostles and Prophets living today.
As the tour ended, I asked him, “If what I have told you is true, do you want to find out for yourself?” He answered in the affirmative.

I have been chuckling about your title all morning long! Since all of the positions in our church are volunteer, we need to support and sustain each other in spite of all our imperfections. Your blog made me think about what kind of Mormom I am. Thanks!
