Dave Banack is Beliefnet’s new Mormon blogger, and this week he’s launched a discussion series for a book titled How Wide the Divide: An Evangelical and a Mormon in Conversation. The book is 10 years old, but the subjects in it are perennial for those interested in sorting through the differences between the two traditions without rancor. 

I’m a big fan of conversations like this: Beliefnet’s Blogalogue series is one of my favorite features, because a staged, serious, civil conversation between two people on opposite sides of issues they hold dear is (1) far too rare and (2) very educational. Banack is already doing a nice job of offering the highlights from How Wide–be sure to tune in, and join in, in the days ahead.
