| Amid false rumors and widely-circulated
e-mails, claiming divine intervention among Mormon missionaries and
BYU interns, Mary Ellen Robertson delivered a speech at the Sixth
Annual Religious Studies Conference at Utah Valley State College in
Provo claiming that some members of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints are exhibiting the "Chosen People Syndrome." An
expert on violence in Mormon history and scripture, Robertson sees a
traditional longing for uniqueness along with an ecclesiastical
mandate to be "in the world but not of the world," which leads to the
syndrome. |
