Clayton Christensen is a professor at Harvard Business School and author of the popular business book The Innovator’s Dilemma. He’s also a Mormon and has recently posted an article on his website about why he belongs to the Mormon church and why he believes its doctrines. He also explains how he received a testimony of the Book of Mormon.
This is a great example of sharing your testimony online. We applaud all Church members, prominent or not, who share why they believe.
Clayton Christensen also wrote an article that appears in next month’s issue of the Ensign: My Ways Are Not Your Ways (PDF, p. 54.) Speaking of missionary work, he said:
I could not lead that work with passion and credibility unless I could speak in present-tense verbs and first-person pronouns about finding people for the missionaries to teach. I have learned to use terms that associate me with Mormonism in my conversations—comments about my mission to Korea, my children’s missions, my assignments in the Church, my having attended Brigham Young University, and so on. These comments open the door for a conversation about the Church. Most who notice that I have opened this door choose not to walk through it. A few do, however, usually saying, “So you’re a Mormon?” I then ask if they’d like to learn more about us.
What a great example of being a missionary, both online and offline.
