Top 15 Conference Hymns from the Last Decade
Twice a year, the 400-plus LDS Church meetinghouses in Utah County sit dormant on Sunday. The normally bustling buildings are traded for worshiping from the couch (or the Conference Center, for the lucky 21,200). Sunday best turns into pajama bottoms, and three hours of church turns into 10 (if you count Priesthood session). This means singing more hymns from the LDS Church’s hymnbook. Here are the hymns sung the most in the last 10 years of the LDS General Conference.

Rapidly growing Mormon community in Harlem looks to reach out
As Mitt Romney’s status as the Republican presidential nominee is becoming more and more certain, Mormonism—Romney’s declared faith—is facing new scrutiny. Last month, a comment in the Washington Post by a Brigham Young University professor prompted an official Mormon Church statement clarifying its position on the historical priesthood ban on African-Americans, which was lifted in 1978. “We condemn racism, including any and all past racism by individuals both inside and outside the Church,” the statement read.

On October 14, 2011, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and Elder Tad R.

Teh, Philippines Area President; Elder Abenir Pajaro and Elder Miguel Valdez, Area Seventies, and Manila Temple president Moises Mabunga.
Is Mormonism a cult?
To many Americans, Mormon theology seems an impenetrable stew of biblical literalism, weird relics and a supernaturalism so aggressive as to border on science fiction, stirred together by a parade of shady self-declared prophets, from the frontier polygamist Joseph Smith to the complacent, dark-suited elders who run the church today. "Plutocratic oligarchs," Harold Bloom labeled them: men (all men; women are barred from participation in the Mormon priesthood) either cynically manipulating the religion for personal gain or themselves taken in.

The Gift of Listening with Mauli Bonner
When it comes to ministering we often think of big acts of service, like showing up on a friend’s porch with a treat and a handwritten note, because at the very least, ministering requires food, right? This kind of service can be wonderful—we all love a thoughtful gift—but are we missing out on opportunities to serve because we feel overwhelmed when our own plates are full? Sometimes, though, one of the simplest ways we can minister is by offering them our undivided attention—the gift of listening. So in today’s episode, we explore how our capacity to love grows both when we take the time to listen and when we are heard in return.
