The Mormon Channel recently interviewed Church Public Affairs Managing Director Michael Otterson about current public perceptions of the church, as well as what more can be done to help the public better understand church beliefs and practices.
A recent study from the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life shows that over half of Americans know little or nothing about Mormons, 47 percent have an unfavorable view of Mormons and one-third say Mormons are not Christians.
