The Day Elvis Presley Attended Early-Morning Seminary
Danielle B. Wagner
- Elvis didn't relish his title of King. As he said, “there is only one King,” and that was Jesus Christ ( Brother Paul’s Mormon Bathroom Reader , Paul B. Skousen, 2005). Deeply religious and a heavy reader of spiritual topics, Elvis showed considerable interest in the LDS Church and maintained many close connections with Mormons. In fact, after his death, a copy of the Book of Mormon was found in his room with the message, “Priscilla needs to read this” written within the well-worn cover ( Brother Paul’s Mormon Bathroom Reader , Paul B. Skousen, 2005). Elvis received several copies...

Church Condemns "White Supremacy Agenda" in Updated Charlottesville Statement
LDS Living Staff
- The Church recently updated their statement following the deadly events in Charlottesville, Virginia, adding this clarification: It has been called to our attention that there are some among the various pro-white and white supremacy communities who assert that the Church is neutral toward or in support of their views. Nothing could be further from the truth. In the New Testament, Jesus said, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy...
Playing Cards: What the Prophets Have Actually Said
Katie Lambert
- I noticed something on the packing list for my first Young Women camp as a Beehive that has since sparked my interest—a note to please not bring playing cards. Though I have since noticed that some LDS members shy away from playing cards or do not have them in their homes for a number of reasons, one of the most intriguing reasons members give is that prophets have told us not to own playing cards. So what have prophets really said about playing cards? As it turns out, prophets in the past have asked members to avoid playing cards, but it's...
