Robert F. Smith Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 “Harry Reid Helps Former Senator Join Mormon Church,” ABC News, April 20, 2015, online at http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/harry-reid-helps-senator-join-mormon-church-30456736 . Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada has helped a former U.S. Senate colleague become a Mormon. Reid, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, gave a blessing to Larry Pressler of South Dakota on Sunday morning to confirm him as a member of the faith. The Deseret News in Utah reports (http://bit.ly/1JnBSw1) the ceremony occurred at a Maryland church. The former three-term Republican Senator from South Dakota (1979-1997), was the first Vietnam veteran elected to the Senate. He is a grad of the Harvard Law School. He is famous for turning down an ABSCAM bribe -- the only member of Congress to refuse. Harry Reid introduced Pressler to the Book of Mormon. Link to comment
Storm Rider Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 It was a good story and good to hear that Senator Reid was so involved and shared a copy of the Book of Mormon with him. Good on him. Link to comment
