The Pacific Area Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued the following statement today in support of New Zealand Hindus and all people of faith and goodwill.

“We are saddened to learn that the Hindu community in New Zealand has recently been targeted with letters that denigrate and attack their religious beliefs and practices. We stand with our friends in the Hindu community, the wider multifaith community, and all people of goodwill in encouraging civility and kindness to all, including those with different beliefs than our own.”
