A better way to look at things.

I always got annoyed when the press would make a big deal that a criminal was LDS. This is a much better way to look at it.

From the July 1990 Ensign - Gordon B. Hinkley



"Sometimes we take offense when one who is a member of the Church is involved in a crime and the public press is quick to say that he is a Mormon. We comment among ourselves that if he had been a member of any other church, no mention would have been made of it.

"Yet, is not this very practice an indirect compliment to our people? The world expects something better of us, and when one of our number falters, the press is quick to note it. We have, indeed, become as a city upon a hill for the world to see. "
