Texas Mormons - Church’s Response to Hurricane Katrina
LDSPublicAffairs asked:
Eric Peterson of Beaumont, Texas, speaks about the Church’s (Mormon) response to Hurricane Katrina.
This video is one in a series of videos The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released to better inform the public about differences between the worldwide church based in Salt Lake City and the polygamous group in Texas that calls itself the FLDS.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - whose members are often called ‘Mormons” - placed a series of video interviews on its web site to illustrate the differences between its own members in Texas and members of the isolated polygamous group.
The Texas Mormons featured on the video interviews include a director of community theater, an orthopedic surgeon, a Justice of the Peace, a former Houston Oilers quarterback, a news anchor and a young woman with aspirations for medical school.

Why didn’t you go help the people in IA, IL and MO that suffered in the recent floods?
Got you marching orders from Salt Lake City did you?
