Talking about the church with the New York Times
As the interest in Mitt Romney’s faith continues to grow, it seems nearly every major media source now feels it has to do some kind of story on “Mormonism” as a part of its coverage of the presidential campaign. Sometimes reporters, journalists and TV stations go directly to the source and talk to the Public Affairs department of the church. This, of course, is the best way to get reliable and accurate information.

A Mormon Church Service Made Simple
When do I sing? Do I raise my hand when everyone else does? Who will be speaking? What happens during three hours of church meetings?

Mormons rally in support of Utah anti-discrimination efforts
Standing on the Capitol steps in front of the small group gathered in support of a now frozen statewide anti-discrimination bill, proud mother Neca Allgood took a moment to brag about her son. "He got a 35 on his ACT," she beamed, glancing over at 18-year-old Grayson Moore, who led a group of self-described "faithful Mormons" in singing hymns throughout Tuesday's rally for legislation prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in housing and employment practices.
LDS green thumbs learning provident living by gardening
Here's a tip from the folks here at the Provident Community Garden that will benefit even the most seasoned green thumb: No garden is complete without turnips — "turn up" with determination; "turn up" with a smile; "turn up" to do the Lord's work.

Oxford University and Latter-day Saints join for King James Bible symposium
Scholars and faith leaders joined together on Saturday, 14 May 2011, for a symposium at the University of Oxford in England marking 400 years of the King James Version of the Bible. The event, which was jointly organized by Harris Manchester College and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, celebrated the impact of the Holy Bible on culture, religion and literature.
Josh Weed: My story is not about change for gay Mormons
Circling the Wagons, a support group for gay Mormons and their families, opened the second day of its Utah conference with three speakers, a full slate of panels and group discussions, along with no small amount of controversy. More than 100 friends and allies of LGBT Mormons filled the pews of Wasatch Presbyterian Church on Saturday afternoon to hear intimate stories of personal struggle and religious faith. Arguably, though, it was Josh Weed, a soft-spoken marriage and family therapist from Seattle, who found himself an unintentional center of attention.
Washington Post: The Mormon obsession
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 Mormonism (hmm, funny how the New York Times ignored and deplored similar inquiries about candidate Barack Obama in 2008, but what do you expect from the liberals’ paper of record?), that his religiosity is identical to those of other faithful people.
