"As an example, homosexuality is a conflicted topic. It is difficult for some church members to discuss it. The topic is �taboo� and is not talked about. Several national church leaders have stated that if family and members back home knew they were talking about homosexuality, serious harm would result. They cannot take written material home that suggests acceptance of homosexuality. Likely ramifications include painful family conflicts and .

Government and religious officials in some nations look at our website and official material to determine our church�s beliefs and positions on moral issues. If they find positions that are not acceptable according to national laws or cultural norms, our church�s presence or ability to function effectively in those countries could be jeopardized."
