WILLIAM NORMAN GRIGG, a former High Priest in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ("the Mormons") who converted to Evangelical Christianity, returns to our program to provide a MOVIE REVIEW of the critically acclaimed, extremely controversial motion picture "SEPTEMBER DAWN", starring Academy Award winning actor Jon Voight (see http://www.septemberdawn.net/).This film is based on the truly historical event known as "The Mountain Meadows Massacre", a horrific event in our nation's history which, ironically, occurred on September 11th, 1857, involving the brutal murder of 120 men, women and children by a Mormon militia. These innocent victims were emigrants, mostly from Arkansas, traveling to California who had the misfortune of passing through the Utah territory during the infamous "Utah War" between Mormon settlers and the United States federal government. These Mormon assassins only spared the lives of 17 of the youngest children.
In Mr. Grigg's other recent interviews on "Iron Sharpens Iron", (that he conducted prior to viewing "September Dawn"), he specifically addressed "The Mountain Meadows Massacre" & his own personal testimony of conversion from Mormonism to Christianity (which originally aired on August 7th & 22nd, available to listen to here!).
Be sure to mark your calendars for our interview next Wednesday, September 19th, with CAROLE WHANG SCHUTTER, an Evangelical Christian author who wrote the novel & screenplay upon which "September Dawn" is based! My co-host during that interview will be LATAYNE C. SCOTT, a Mormon convert to Christianity & author of The Mormon Mirage!
