“Where are our nuns on the bus?” a progressive LDS friend wondered aloud late last week, after hearing Sister Simone Campbell take the DNC podium.

“I am my sister’s keeper; I am my brother’s keeper,” Campbell declared, criticizing the Ryan budget for cutting taxes for the wealthy at the expense of programs like food stamps.

There is no equivalent voice of conscience coming from the Mormon faith tradition.

To be sure, there are Mormon Democrats—who announced their presence proudly last week at a DNC event featuring the ever-pugilistic Senator Harry Reid urging his co-religionists to “worry less what the neighbors think” when it comes to standing up for progressive politics in Mormon contexts.
