In general, though, this discussion wasn't notably "liberal," said Kristine Haglund, editor of Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought. "We talked about a lot of causes like maternal and child health, education, urban decay, etc., that are pretty generically humanitarian. For instance, I talked about [LDS apostle] Todd Christofferson introducing the concept of fasting to a bunch of charitable groups in Nashville as an example of religiously motivated service that worked in a secular setting, even with an explicitly religious explanation. I'm pretty sure that's not a discussion that would have been problematic for conservatives."
