Mennonite or Mormon?

The day it happened, I was going to blog a bit about the LeBaron-Widmar killings in Chihuahua, Mexico. After all, Benjamin LeBaron and Luis Widmar were identified by the Associated Press as “members of the pacifist Mennonite community in northern Mexico.”

Then I decided not to bother calling attention to the story, even though I’m a Mennonite.

A day or two later I started seeing stories about a couple of Mormons killed in northwest Mexico.

This morning I verified the stories are all about the same murders.

Are Mennonites and Mormons so easy to confuse?

I assume LeBaron and Widmar were Mormons, since a Web search I did turned up more references to them as such rather than Mennonites.

Whatever the case, friends and families are hurting, especially two wives and ten children. May they find lasting solace and peace in God.
