Whitney Johnson at Know Your Neighbor has an article in Meridian Magazine about reaching out to persons of other faiths by discussing religion over dinner. She calls the idea Dinner and a Mormon (a play on the TBS program Dinner and a Movie) and the idea is that we Mormons are less likely to be misunderstood and misjudged if we can help people get to know us. Sometimes we make it difficult by being exclusionary and cliquish.

Well, I work at a Catholic school… I am the only member in my parents’ family and my husband’s family. My husband is not a member, and our son is the only “other” member, now serving a mission in NY, NY North. So, you can see that I am surrounded by non memebrs. Everyone of them knows my son and I are members. 90% of them have a Book of Mormon given by me…
