We Mormons intuitively understand Romney’s comment about he significance of his family. It brings to mind President Hinckley’s famous 1975 General Conference address, in which he related an account of a meeting with clergymen of other faiths during the open house for the rededication of the Mesa Arizona Temple.
President Hinckley was asked, “If you do not use the cross, what is the symbol of your religion?” His reply: “[T]he lives of our people must become the only meaningful expression of our faith and, in fact, therefore, the symbol of our worship.” (Gordon B. Hinckley, “The Symbol of Christ,” Ensign, May 1975, 92.)
Because of Mitt Romney’s candidacy, we may well see that principle on display in the most high-profile setting ever.
