"...my 47 years in evangelical Christianity." See here ( 20:20) Here, as best as I can gather, is the religious background of the celebrated ex-evangelical convert to Mormonism David Alexander. Alexander features his evangelical background as the platform from which he defends Mormonism and opposes evangelicals. Questions have been posed about the extent of Alexander's evangelical involvement.
