Primarily for that reason, it has become necessary to \u2018pause,\u2019 \u201d Christiansen, 60, wrote in the letter sent to the Speaker of the Utah House of Representatives.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican \u2014 who has served in the legislature since January 2020 \u2014 further used the letter to resign from his position at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, writing, \u201cI do not wish to infer that my views represent those of [the church.] I therefore believe it is best to retire from Church employment to avoid potential misunderstandings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to his LinkedIn page, Christiansen served as director of Presiding Bishopric Projects at the church.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div readability=\"13.435897435897\">\nHello Commenters!<\/p>\n<p>The Gateway Pundit is always committed to ensuring your voice can and will be heard.
