Rachel Esplin, a 20-year old Mormon from Idaho studying at Harvard, was part of the Harvard Day of Faith about a year ago today. In case you missed it, Rachel was one of five undergraduates from diverse religious backgrounds interviewed by Washington Post journalist Sally Quinn. (The others included a Muslin, a Jew, a Presbyterian and a Buddhist.) I think you’ll find that Rachel is one smart cookie. She’s articulate, well-spoken, and avoids the traps Sally sets for her.

I am actually very impressed by her answers. This is way way cool!
I think her name makes her smart and extremely good looking.
Ok, is no one seeing the creepy Jew burning a hole through this poor girl? Watch the vid again, and keep an eye on this crazy bean burrow. His expression when she announces that we have a (new) Prophet, is priceless!
Yes Paulblo, but at the end he is very expressive and thanks (?) her. It seems to me that he was so intently focused b/c her answers were so well conceived.
Sally Quinn needs a smackdown. She’s obnoxious and offensive.
