How Should I Respond to a Door-to-Door Evangelist of Another Faith?

About this episode

Father Dave discusses how to handle interactions with door-to-door evangelists from other faiths.

A listener named Becca asks Father Dave about how to approach an interfaith interaction. Becca says, "[Sometimes] Mormons come to my property; I ask them to leave and they get a bit bothered. They ask if they can pray with me, and I say 'No, thank you.' Am I wrong for saying no?"
