"In Mormon parlance, both 'Mormon culture' and 'gospel culture' are used to define Mormon identity. Outside lies the 'culture of the world', which was once highly valued by Mormons, until its meaning changed. This article traces how these terms relate to evolving perspectives. It leads to questions viewed in the international context. What makes a religious culture and how does Mormonism fit? How American is Mormon culture worldwide? How Mormon is gospel culture? How can members around the world define and live their relation with the surrounding non-Mormon culture? How feasible is it for converts to 'Keep every good thing you have' in the formation of their Mormon identity? How much room is there for local culture in the church? These reflections also reveal deeper concerns as to Mormon identity: too much contrast with the world--the antonymy factor--may lead to increasing exclusivism within the church, causing distress among other members, if not disengagement from Mormonism. It is true Mormon identity must be distinct but, in view of the problem of retention, it must be viable also." [AUTHOR'S ABSTRACT]
