Latter-day Saint scholar, Professor Bob Millett, spoke recently to Brigham Young University students about interfaith relations.

"I am immeasurably grateful for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints," he said, "but at the same time, I have found myself, more and more often, looking into the eyes of those of other faiths, sensing their goodness, perceiving their commitment, and realizing more surely that God knows them, loves them, and desires for me to love, respect and better understand them."
