Dear Gramps, Thank you for following up (moral attitude toward girls). The problem is I am not a Christian, will I still be allowed to do so. I live in Calcutta, India. Waiting for your reply. Piyush

Dear Piyush,

I’m sure that the members of the LDS Church in Calcutta would welcome a person such as yourself, regardless of his religious beliefs, and I have no doubt that you will find there people of uniformly high moral standards, who honor womanhood and respect all people as children of God, with divine potential.

The Church is not fully developed yet in India so it is administered as a mission field with Districts and Branches rather than fully developed Stakes and Wards. Local congregations are called either branches or wards. The mission headquarters in India are in Bangalore, about 1000 miles away, but there is a Branch of the Church in Calcutta. The name of the president of the Branch is Tapash Chattergee, and the address of the chapel is Rd-2 Flat #2, Sector 3, Calcutta 700091.
