Governor Romney did not attempt to argue the compatibility of his own religious faith and that of most of the graduates. I was relieved. He told the graduates and their guests, "People of different faiths, like yours and mine, sometimes wonder where we can meet in common purpose, when there are so many differences in creed and theology. Surely the answer is that we can meet in service, in shared moral convictions about our nation stemming from a common worldview." He is right.

I wonder how Christian it is to ignore Romney’s support of gay adoption while jumping up and down screaming about Obama’s support of gay marriage.

The Baptist church and this Baptist University as well as the Catholic church says that mormonism is a cult, which makes the following an understatement of major proportions:

..This Mormon candidate who spoke at that Baptist Liberty University is looking better and better to this Catholic citizen as the fall Presidential race approaches. The future of the American experiment in ordered liberty is at risk.We do indeed share common values which are essential for our future as a free people. Mitt Romney is correct, "we can meet in service, in shared moral convictions about our nation stemming from a common worldview." Only the godless share common values with the godless.

It moves me, too. To throw up.
I watched my local news coverage of the speech, and sadly, though some of the students protested Romney, the people there just ate it up in blissful ignorance. One student said, “Oh, I had no idea he was so religious!”

"People of different faiths, like yours and mine, sometimes wonder where we can meet in common purpose, when there are so many differences in creed and theology. Surely the answer is that we can meet in service, in shared moral convictions about our nation stemming from a common worldview." He's not right until definitions are understood. Though deferring faiths might use the same verbiage...their definition of meaning can be off the map entirely.
As an example: When Muslims use the word "Peace" they understand Peace as ONLY thru Islam and outside of Islam there can be no Peace.
Romney's a globalist and as the appointed GOP baby he is very much on board with uniting the faiths on an International Level....of course this is for the revenues they can generate, and because people will not get on board with a One World System without faith matters being involved.
Since the Mormon Organization mingles heavily with Muslims, and Muslims see Mormons as closest to their own beliefs, it has been said Romney would be "the one" to garner peace between the religions
Of course since Mormonism is not mainline Christianity by any means, and by definition a cult counterfeiting Christianity and with an Impostor Christ, it is an easy thing for Romney to desire "Peace" between the faiths...thus giving credit to Mormonism, which mainstream Christianity has refused and rejected as Christian since Mormonssit's inception....and that because it was not, is not now, nor can it be Christian any more than ME faiths can be considered Christian.
