Bloomberg Businessweek's Mormon cover

The folks at Bloomberg Businessweek sent over a mock-up of the cover for their next issue, featuring the exclusive cover story “Latter-day Lucre: How the Mormon Church Makes Its Billions” by Caroline Winter:

Here’s the context ... Image is from an 1898 lithograph of “The Youthful Prophet, Joseph Smith, Jr., and Oliver Cowdery, Receiving the Aaronic Priesthood Under the Hands of John the Baptist, May 15, 1829. Recording a pivotal moment in the birth of Mormonism.”

Though in this case, the directive is: "And thou shalt build a shopping mall, own stock in Burger King and open a Polynesian theme park in Hawaii that shall be largely exempt from the frustrations of tax."

Me thinks some controversy is en route.
