How his LDS faith guides this U.S. diplomat | Episode 430

Born in Salt Lake City, John Dinkelman has spent nearly four decades working as a U.S. diplomat in countries as far away as the former Yugoslavia and Turkey, and as close as Nogales, Mexico.

He currently serves other diplomats as president of the American Foreign Service Association.

As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Dinkelman served a two-year mission in Argentina and graduated from church-owned Brigham Young University.

On this week’s show, he discusses his career, how his Latter-day Saint faith has guided him, and what part the church can play on the global stage.
