    I read this quote in Chieko Okazaki’s book Lighten Up. Since she didn’t say it and since it applies to many of our hearts here I figured I post it for some pre-Sabbath uplift. Enjoy.

    Quote:

    Elder John K. Carmack had a wonderful article published in the March 1991 Ensign titled “Unity in Diversity. He wrote: “Labeling a fellow Church member an intellectual, a less-active member, a feminist, a South African, and Armenian, a Utah Mormon, or a Mexican, for example, seemingly provides an excuse to mistreat or ignore that person. . . . Each of us should be fair to everyone, especially the victims of discrimination, isolation, and exclusion. Let us be careful not to snicker at jokes that demean and belittle others because of religious, cultural, racial, national, or gender differences. All are alike unto God. We should walk away or face up to the problem when confronted with these common and unworthy practices.

    Quoted by Chieko Okazaki, Lighten Up. pg. 22

    Love it, mom3. Please add it to the “Quote of the Day” thread, as well.
