...Kirkland rarely join each other outside church functions. Carlyn Christensen says she makes a point not to "stick around with Mormons; there are too many other interesting people." While none of the Mormons mind being identified as one, most are wary of being typed as a Latter-Day Saint, or, in Peterson's words, of wearing their Mormonism on their sleeve...
