Dangerous trends in religious freedom
People across the world are suffering from persecution. "And why are they suffering?" John Graz said. "Are they dangerous for their country? Are they bad people? No, most of the time they are good people. But they are suffering, they are discriminated against, they are excluded only because of their religion." Graz is the public affairs and religious liberty director for the Seventh-day Adventist world church and is secretary general for the International Religious Liberty Association (IRLA). He carries the message of religious freedom across the world — speaking in conferences and with politicians, religious leaders and scholars. He spoke recently at BYU at the 22nd annual conference of the LDS International Society about the global challenges and trends affecting religious freedom.

How Tom Hanks and a Ship in the Desert Became a Miracle for Us While Filming Reality TV
By Audy Leavitt
Last year my husband and I had the unexpected opportunity to film a reality show called Playhouse Masters about our family and custom playhouse business. Season two airs on TLC this year and has already been viewed in countries all over the world. My start on this journey . . . wait journey’s the wrong word. Let's call it mountain climb. My start on this mountain climb was steep, treacherous, and I had no clue how to use the climbing gear.

'What If I Drop a Tray?' Answering Important Questions from a New Deacon
My only son participated in passing the sacrament for the first time last Sunday. Since he’s almost as tall as me and now has such sacred responsibilities, I guess it’s time to admit that he’s growing up. He has been anxiously awaiting this day, not only because the Primary program was absolute torture for him a few weeks ago, but also because he’s got a great quorum of friends to welcome him.

Glimpsing the past: General conference audio and video archive
For many members of the Church, general conference is one of the most unique and inspiring events of the year. As General Authorities prepare talks and speak under direction of the Spirit, their words connect with many in deeply personal ways. Every conference some members feel a certain talk was written just for them because of its powerful and personal message. At the April 1996 general conference President Gordon B. Hinckley said, "I invite you to listen, listen if you will by the power of the Spirit, to the speakers who will address you today and tomorrow as well as this evening. If you will do so, I do not hesitate to promise that you will be uplifted, your resolution to do what is right will be stronger, you will find solutions to your problems and your needs, and you will be led to thank the Lord for what you have heard."
Dave Says: What's the Worst That Can Happen?
By Dave Ramsey
Dear Dave,
Romney and the Mormons
Last week, there were more stories about posthumous Mormon baptisms -- this time it was Daniel Pearl. Pearl's parents sent an email to the Boston Globe, in which they responded to the LDS: We appreciate your good intentions but rest assured that Danny's soul was redeemed through the life that he lived and the values that he upheld. He lived as a proud Jew, died as a proud Jew and is currently facing his creator as a Jew, blessed, accepted and redeemed.
