CEO of $200 Million Company Leaves Business to Serve Mission
Two weeks ago, Stampin’ Up! CEO and co-founder Shelli Gardner stood in the center of a well-lit stage in Orlando. She’s broken news to their independent demonstrators many times during the company’s 27-year history, but this announcement was different.
Women's Conference begins, new RS presidency debuts
In her first time speaking after being sustained as general Relief Society president for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Sister Linda K. Burton welcomed guests to the annual Women's Conference at Brigham Young University on Thursday morning. "The depth of your preparation will determine the depth of your understanding and it will enable the spirit to flow freely in the classes that you attend," she said. "Because you have prepared, the Lord will bless and strengthen you and make this a rich and rewarding experience. Then you can use that to go forth and strengthen others at the conclusion of our time together."
Mormon Bishop Disguises Himself as Homeless Man to Teach Congregation About Compassion
David Musselman, a bishop for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, did not receive his usual greetings as he approached his meetinghouse last Sunday. But then again, Bishop Musselman is usually not disguised as a homeless man for church.
Mormon Parenting: We Don't 'Own' Our Children
How do children become who they are? Is it environment or heredity? Nature or nurture? And if it’s only a combination of those two, how are siblings so very different from each other? Just when we think we have become “experienced parents” with one child, the next one comes along and everything is different!

LDS Church: New MTC buildings to open in Provo
To better accommodate the recent increase in new missionaries, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is expanding its missionary training operations by securing the use of additional buildings near the Provo Missionary Training Center (MTC).Missionaries will occupy the Raintree Commons apartments at 1849 North 200 West, and portions of the BYU-owned Wyview Park apartments at 146 West 1940 North in Provo, Utah. This temporary arrangement is one of the many ways the Church is accommodating more missionaries entering into missionary service around the world.
LDS Church says disciplinary claim is 'patently false'
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said that suggestions by a Florida man that he is being excommunicated by the church for writing negative articles about Mitt Romney are “patently false.” In a statement issued Friday afternoon, LDS Church spokesman Michael Purdy denied that David Twede, who is described in The Daily Beast as “a scientist, novelist and fifth-generation Mormon,” is facing church discipline “for having questions or for expressing a political view.”
Mitt Romney answers the question "What went wrong in the presidential election?"
SALT LAKE CITY — For Spencer Zwick, the realization that the man he’d worked for since the 2002 Winter Olympics would not be president didn’t hit until the morning after the election, when he started to introduce Mitt Romney at an event for donors. “One of the hardest things was standing up there,” Zwick recalled. “To just say, ‘Welcome Mitt and Ann Romney,’ this is the moment it struck me that, ‘Oh my goodness, he’s not going to be the president and he should be.’″
LDS Church being sued by gallery owner over Teichert painting
A Minerva Teichert painting known as "The Law on the Plates of Brass" is at the heart of a legal dispute pitting a downtown art gallery against the painting's one-time owner, and the LDS Church. Thomas Alder, owner of Williams Fine Art Gallery, contends two unnamed representatives from the Church History Museum showed up with paperwork to "borrow" the painting from his business and never returned it. Instead, his lawsuit alleges the painting's owner breached their consignment contract and sold the painting to a member of the museum's acquisition committee without Alder's knowledge.
10 Memorable Quotes from C.S. Lewis on the 50th Anniversary of His Death
On Nov. 22, much of the world will remember and celebrate President John F. Kennedy on the 50th anniversary of his assassination. Little noticed in 1963 was the death that same day of another extraordinary man, C.S. Lewis. His writings on Christianity and his Chronicles of Narnia novels have had a profound effect on Christians, especially in the United States. Because of this, it is worth remembering his life, his faith and the remarkably enduring gift of his writings.
Is it open season on Mormonism?
The BuzzFeed piece is misleadingly titled,”Why Ann stayed home.” In fact the reporter, McKay Coppins (who has identified himself as a Mormon), reveals nothing about her motivations. That, rather, appears to be the “hook” for a discourse asserting the Mormon faith is discriminatory and oppressive toward women. Ann wasn’t interviewed. The Romney campaign didn’t comment for his report. And the reporter doesn’t indicate he tried to reach either. The piece foreshadows, I fear, of what is to come — effort to portray Mormons as weirdly out of step and unmodern, and by implication, Romney as being unfit for the presidency.
