Viewpoint: Making the most of the Mormon Moment
My last companion in Australia was Elder William Hopoate — one of the most famous rugby all-stars in Australia. When he turned down millions of dollars to serve a Mormon mission, it went viral. As we served together, I realized his influence did much more than simply touch the people he came in...
Mormon Media Observer: Are Mormons really more successful in business?
MR says: Do you think Mormons especially excel in business? Steve Martin isn’t a Latter-day Saint. Neither is Adam Sandler. Neither is Apple’s Tim Cook, nor Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg. But many well-known people are. It seems a common tactic in the news media to pick successful Latter-day Saints...
Why I'm a Mormon
MR says: The review is a little edgy, but the author is sincere and convincing. I normally try to avoid hearing what other people think about a book before reviewing it—but in the case of Why I’m a Mormon, someone else’s reaction was the reason I wanted to read it. I was in a Deseret Book store in...
BYU rugby team wins national championship
MR says: Congrats boys. Thousands of BYU fans gathered at the Rio Tinto stadium on Saturday night to witness the BYU Rugby team take the national championship title against Arkansas State. The final score was 49-42. The Red Wolves took advantage of the Cougars’ slow start. Arkansas scored a penalty...

Washington Post: The Mormon obsession
MR says: This author makes it a point to defend the Church from the media's current take on Mormonism. The New York Times' Jodi Kantor has a piece on Mitt Romney’s Mormonism. It is largely sympathetic and reveals, despite Kantor’s thesis that everything you need to know about Romney boils down to...
'DWTS' finalist Katherine Jenkins to join Tabernacle Choir for Pioneer Day concert
MR says: Don't forget to register for tickets starting tomorrow (May 19). As far as Mormon Tabernacle Choir director Mack Wilberg is concerned, Katherine Jenkins is a renowned Welsh mezzo-soprano who has extraordinary stylistic range, having sold millions of albums worldwide while singing operatic arias,...
How Not to Start a Talk

Mormon HS basketball star Jabari Parker makes cover of Sports Illustrated
MR says: Wow. This kid is amazing. Sports Illustrated rarely produces a cover story on a high school athlete, but when it comes to 17-year-old prep basketball sensation Jabari Parker, the venerable national publication couldn't resist. Parker, a high school junior, graces the cover of this week's issue....
Study argues Romney’s ‘religion problem’ is exaggerated
A new study released by the Brookings Institution argues that Mitt Romney’s Mormon religion is unlikely to hurt him at the polls in November. The researchers based the conclusion on an experiment in which people were asked whether they planned to vote for Mr. Romney or Mr. Obama. Some of the...
Manaus Brazil Temple open house and dedication dates announced
MR says: There's a pretty photo gallery of the temple interior. The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) has announced open house and dedication dates for the Manaus Brazil Temple. The public is invited to visit the temple during an open house from 18 May through 2...
Explore Old Jerusalem on Google Maps Street View
MR says: This is pretty cool. Many LDS people who’ve visited the Holy Land will tell you that it deepened their understanding of the the scriptures in a big way. Being able to walk the same places where Old and New Testament figures, including Christ himself, once walked, changes their perspective and...
Dare to Stand Alone
MR says: President Thomas S. Monson shares an experience he had in the Navy when he had to stand alone and reminds us that "we are never alone when we stand with our Father in Heaven."
