Anti-Mormon bigotry repeated by MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell

When Sen. Orrin Hatch proclaimed Tuesday afternoon that President Barack Obama's re-election campaign would "throw the Mormon church at" Mitt Romney, Democrats were quick to reaffirm "attacking a candidate's religion is out of bounds" and dismiss the senator's opinions as "utter nonsense." Apparently MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell missed the religious-attacks-aren't-cool memo, because on the very same day as Hatch's controversial comments O'Donnell blatantly attacked Romney's religion by making inflammatory and inaccurate statements about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its founder, Joseph Smith, during political programming intended to offer analysis of Tuesday's presidential primaries in Wisconsin, Maryland and Washington, D.C.

Archbishop to United Nations Speaks on Similarities to Mormonism

[Archbishop Bernardito] Auza spoke of the various persecutions both Catholics and Latter-day Saints have experienced throughout history and even noted that had there been no persecution of the saints he could be speaking from Palmyra, New York; or Kirtland, Ohio; or Far West, Missouri; or Nauvoo, Illinois. All places of persecution for the Mormons.

LDS Church launches new website to give story behind D&C sections

Replete though it is with precious gospel truths, some readers might find a study of the Doctrine Covenants a bit daunting because it does not follow a narrative, as do, say, the Book of Mormon or the New Testament. Yet, as much as any of the other standard works of the Church, the sections in the Doctrine and Covenants stem from historical events, in this case the events pertaining to the Restoration of the gospel and the rise and development of the Church of Jesus Christ in latter days.

Non-LDS Scholar Delves into 'Mormon Lessons' for Christians

“Mormon Christianity: What Other Christians Can Learn from the Latter-day Saints,” has just been published by Oxford University Press, and offers the view of a non-Mormon theologian — Mr. Webb, a longtime evangelical Christian who was received into the Roman Catholic Church in 2007 — on a group whose beliefs and core theology may not be as familiar as the presence of temples and missionaries-on-the-doorstep might suggest.

"Sesame Street" came to Salt Lake City’s North Temple Street this week as nine Muppets joined the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and singer Santino Fontana in the choir’s popular Christmas concerts.

Setting it straight: LDS home storage centers tweaking policy, not closing canneries

Contrary to a published report, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not closing its food production canneries and is not limiting the variety of goods that are available to church members for consumption and storage. "Over time, we will be reducing the number of facilities where the packaging of dry goods occurs," LDS spokeswoman Ruth Todd said Monday. Even then, she added, the church's "home storage centers will offer the same or additional commodities in pre-packaged form, at no additional cost."

Provo's Oldest Pioneer Home Saved with Help of LDS Church

If the LDS Church's gargantuan efforts to save the Provo Tabernacle weren't enough, the church is stepping up to keep another piece of Provo's history from vanishing. Two months ago, Provo's oldest surviving pioneer home was unwittingly scheduled for demolition to make way for a parking lot. Not anymore.

Jewish Rabbi: Our friends, the Mormons

With large families, a deep love of Israel and the Jewish people, simultaneous dedication to our faith and engagement with the broader world, dietary restrictions and modest dress, and being misunderstood (even by our coreligionists), Orthodox Jews surprisingly have much in common with one of the fastest growing religions in the United States – the Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS), colloquially known as the Mormons. I would like to share reflections on last week’s meetings, coordinated by the Orthodox Union’s Advocacy Center, with the church and its political leadership in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Washington Post: How the Mormon church teaches priesthood holders to lead

This piece is part of a joint On Faith - On Leadership series exploring the Mormon experiences that have helped shaped Mitt Romney’s leadership style, with pieces contributed by promiment Mormon writers and academics. Every Sunday in chapels across the world, the Lord’s Supper is administered by teenage boys of the congregation, nervous or bored, in sometimes ill-fitting white shirts and poorly knotted ties in youthful imitation of their dark-suited fathers. They kneel before trays of bread and water, recite formal prayers and solemnly pass the communion to the congregation. Then they return to their families in the pews.
