Eagles Coach Andy Reid To Host Mormon Symposium in Broomall

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid is expected to be the masters of ceremonies at Sunday night's evening symposium about Mormonism at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Broomall.

BROOMALL–Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid won't be talking about football this Sunday. Instead, Reid will be hosting an evening symposium about Mormonism in Broomall.

The event will be sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, located off of Paxon Hollow Road in Broomall at 7 p.m.

Reid will be the master of ceremonies of the "Who are the Mormons?" event, which will include guest speaker Ahmad S. Corbitt, director of the New York Office of Public and International Affairs for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and a special musical performance by Jack Livigni, a tenor at the New York Metropolitan Opera.

According to an article in Newsworks.org, the event is mainly an information symposium that will answer questions that people may have of the religion.

Reid "grew up a not-very-observant Lutheran, joining the Mormon church while playing football for Brigham Young University," according to Newsworks.

I am sure all of these people are well qualified but they certainly have been living off our dimeRead More for a very long time. I hope they will enjoy their sizeable pension when they retire at 55.

And for the record Chip Mackrides seems to be the uncle of the human crime spree, not the father.
