Abstract
There is a great need in our community to unite different religious, ethnic and racial groups. In 2001 an “Alliance for Unity” was formed in Utah. Its Statement of Purpose and Mission Statement were read to LDS wards throughout the State. It reads “our Alliance for Unity will seek ways to bring people together for the benefit of all. We will encourage specific projects of common purpose. Our overriding goal is to help people cross boundaries of culture, religion and ethnicity to better understand and befriend one another”. Many including Elder M. Russell Ballard and Jon Huntsman signed this statement.
