Review of Religious Bridges

This piece underscores an important aspect of the evangelical and morman culture: witnessing. As far as it being a soft feature, it's perfect. It presumes that the listener undetstands why one religion would want to convert the other but frankly, I would have liked it to go deeper and explore why either side feels the need to convert the other. But then, it probably wouldn't be a "soft feature."
I really like how this piece underscores how each culture is searching for common ground, respect and acceptance for the other. As Ms. Rose states at the end of the piece: "Conversions are a bonus." Good point.
