Some Regent students, alumni don't want Romney as speaker

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- Some Regent University students and alumni are upset that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney will speak at commencement, saying his Mormon faith clashes with the evangelical Christianity of the school founded by Pat Robertson.

"What we're against is the fact that Mormonism is on the complete opposite end of the spectrum from Christian values and what we believe," said Doug Dowdey, a Virginia Beach pastor who said he graduated from Regent's divinity school last year.

"If Pat wants to hold a political rally, well, hold one. Why not? Just don't hold it at commencement," Dowdey said.

Students have posted numerous e-mails on both sides of the debate on Regent's internal electronic bulletin board since Romney's selection as speaker was announced in mid-February.

Mormons belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which espouses some scripture, such as the Book of Mormon, and theology that departs from mainstream Christianity.

The Christian Broadcasting Network, which Robertson heads, discusses Mormonism on its Web site on a page titled, "How Do I Recognize a Cult?"
