The subject of this study is only a small part of a larger ensemble - the social psychology of Latter-day Saint converts in a non-Mormon environment. In this vast field many complex aspects can be studied, such as the various backgrounds of future converts, the modalities of their conversions, their integration process into the local LDS unit, their experiences relating to America and the Church in America, and the dynamics of alliance with and alienation from their non-Mormon surroundings. I have limited myself here to one specific contribution, that is, the socio-ideological allegiance of adult LDS converts, from their non-Mormon upbringing until their integration as members of the Church, seen against the historical canvas of the Flemish society. In the interest of brevity, I must present this subject in three heavily thinned-out parts : first, a sketch of the historical background of the Flemish socio-political canvas ; second, an examination of the Mormon convert on this canvas before and after conversion ; and finally, a tentative interpretation of the socio-ideological patterns." -[PUBLISHER]
