I thank you for that.
I have been concerned that this entire subject might lead people to believe that Mormons are antisemitic, while nothing is further from the truth.
I learned to be a semitophile at my Mormon mother's knee, and have never heard anything but respect for Jews and for the Jewish covenant with God from any Mormon I've ever spoken to. I was *specifically* taught in the Mormon church to respect the covenant God made with Abraham and the Mosaic code.
Of all the Christian denominations with which I've been affiliated, I have found the LDS church *particularly* respectful of the Jewish faith, Jewish ideals, etc. Which is not to say that the other Christian denominations were antisemitic. I've found a refreshing ecumenical spirit in many many places.
