| | Don't you have faith God could raise Ezra Taft Benson to speak and lead the church?' But in secret the leaders of the church had amended the faith that God would do that. | | | Benson renounced his membership in the church in October and to a great extent was ostracized by his family and Mormon friends. | | | His grandfather, 94-year-old Ezra Taft Benson, is the president and prophet of the Mormon Church, a worldwide religious organization based in Salt Lake City, Utah, and officially known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. |

| | Benson also believed in calling on the aid of Almighty God for help in his duties. | | | Addressing a church audience in 1968, Benson noted that "no people can maintain freedom unless their political institutions are founded upon faith in God and belief in the existence of moral law. | | | Predictably, his boldness in declaring the eternal truths of liberty aroused controversy among a few members of his church, who felt that his political teachings were an infringement on their religious freedoms. |
