Vlogging series: Anna Grzymala-Busse on politics, religion, and LDS Church growth
Anna Grzymala-Busse is the Ronald and Eileen Weiser Professor of European and Eurasian Studies at the Department of Political Science at University of Michigan. She visited BYU on January 27, 2011.
Professor Grzymala-Busse discusses religion and politics, beginning with why some religions are able to grow without diluting their doctrine. The interview touches on Mormon mommy blogs, LDS retention rates, effective steps for retaining members in the faith, and questions including: Can political parties replicate the community ties of religion to retain members? What does the growth of the LDS church mean for American politics? How does conservatives’ skepticism of Mormons’ Christianity affect the political power of Latter-day Saints in America?
