(PROVO)-While serving as a speaker at Brigham Young University’s weekly forum series Tuesday, evangelical Christian Mark DeMoss called for those who profess a belief in Christ to be civil to their neighbors.

DeMoss, who runs a public relations firm which specializes in Christian organizations, told students Christ’s true disciples, do not waste their time demonizing others, while he cited those who have attacked both Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints GOP candidate Mitt Romney and Democratic incumbent Barack Obama, on this point.

DeMoss, who incidentally serves as an adviser to Romney, informed KSL Radio of Salt Lake City Tuesday he attempted to have lawmakers sign a civility pledge, but only three of the 600 in question signed it.

The Deseret News stated DeMoss commenced his Civility Project in 2009 after becoming disenchanted with how Latter-Day Saints were treated by evangelicals and those who opposed their position on marriage, as Church authorities advocated that it remain legally between one man and one woman.

DeMoss and his project co-founder, Larry Davis, dissolved the project last year.
