Mormon Husband Wins 'Most Memorable Moment' Award on 'Today' for Viral Video

For the first time, the "Today" show hosted its own video awards, selecting five of the top "Most Memorable Moments" from the viral videos it highlighted this year. Videos in the running included the father who celebrated a passing grade with his son; a baby who was brought to tears while hearing her mother sing; a mother's reaction to learning she will be a grandma; and Utah's very own Jason Mortensen and his reaction to his "eye-candy" wife, Candice, as he was coming out of anesthesia.

Memoir: Sen. Rubio says Mormon upbringing was moral compass

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio credits his short-lived time as a Mormon for providing a moral compass in his youth, though he also discloses for the first time his family’s struggles with the constraints of the faith and his eventual return to the Catholic fold. In his new autobiography, "An American Son," available Tuesday, the Florida Republican candidly discusses the three years he spent as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and lauds the Utah-based faith for helping his Cuban-immigrant mother and him when they moved from Miami to Las Vegas when he was a grade-schooler.

Bay Area Radio: Peace and quiet at the Mormon temple in Oakland

As part of our place profiles series, KALW's Isabel Angell decided to see what the temple looked like up close. ISABEL ANGELL: I’ve lived my whole life in the Bay Area, specifically the East Bay.

Closure of LDS Church school 'an opportunity'

When leaders from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced the closure of its Benemerito de las Americas High School in Mexico City in preparation for converting the facility into a missionary training center last January, one education-based nonprofit organization realized drastic change was imminent. For the last 15 years, those associated with Foundation Escalera have gone to Mexico’s poorest villages in search of students and awarded them scholarships to attend Benemerito with the overall goal of helping to gradually change a cycle of poverty. Since 1998, Escalera has sent more than 1,200 students to the LDS Church-owned high school.

Boy Scouts proposing to lift ban on gay youth, LDS Church to evaluate

Festival founder Christian Vuissa is a big believer in the filmmaking subculture of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and filmmaking Mormons frequently flock to the festival, now in its 10th year. That, however, doesn’t mean that Vuissa takes the festival for granted.
