Mormon Church Wants to Stay One Step Ahead of the Conspiracy Theorists
Two of the most prominent Republican candidates for president happen to be Mormon, but that doesn't mean the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has some sort of political agenda, it would like everyone to know. The Wall Street Journal reports that the Mormon Church is going out of its way to discourage the idea that it somehow is mysteriously pulling strings for Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman (who are both "Running for Grown-up," as John Heilemann put it in New York this week). The Church has formally banned its 400 or so employees from contributing to political campaigns, for instance. And yet combating the idea of the church-as-political-puppeteer means some aggressive promotion of the faith itself.
Mormon 101: FAQ
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can be found at every level of society — in business and charity, education and the sciences, political parties and government, the entertainment industry and news media. Describing the character of Latter-day Saints, Newsweek magazine wrote: “No matter where Mormons live, they find themselves part of a network of mutual concern; in Mormon theology everyone is a minister of a kind, everyone is empowered in some way to do good to others, and to have good done unto them: it is a 21st century covenant of caring. This caring is not limited to Church members alone, but extends far beyond.”
Mitt Romney makes Mormonism part of his speech during RNC
After years of avoiding direct mention of his religion, Mitt Romney will open up about his Mormon faith as he accepts the Republican nomination for president. It's unclear just how much detail he will provide on Thursday night, the pinnacle of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. The former Massachusetts governor has spoken broadly in the past about the importance of prayer and belief in God, but has not discussed The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

'BibleStick' device provides spiritual support to military
A Christian software developer that creates "BibleStick" pocket-sized digital audio devices that can play the entire New Testament is reporting that requests for its product have spiked higher than ever before as the July 4 holiday approaches. Faith Comes By Hearing (FCBH) said in a statement that since 2008, more than 218,000 units have been freely distributed to more than 1,000 chaplains who have used them during pre-deployment briefings, counseling sessions, chapel services, Bible studies and upon direct request of service members. The organization was established in 1972, and is celebrating its 40th year of ministry.
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.
CNN: LDS scholar dishes on 'Mormon' musical
Prof. Bushman, the character of Elder Price, an American Mormon missionary in modern-day Uganda, questions his faith, but regains it while performing the song, “I Believe.” He sings, “I believe that God has a plan for all of us. / I believe that plan involves me getting my own planet.” Is that lyric based in Mormon belief?
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.

Why the Phrase 'I am a Child of God' is So Important to My Testimony
One major difference my friends and I found between our faiths lay in our beliefs about our identities: While they held that we are simply God’s creations, I felt a match strike in my chest with the knowledge that I am more than that. And while it’s an idea any five-year-old could tell you without hesitation or confusion, in my moment on the porch of a small homestay on Gili Trawangan, as I heard myself say it, I learned it again: I am a daughter of God.
Mormonism in the News: Getting It Right | 8 May 2013
Intermountain Catholic: Mormons Honor Benedictine Sisters' Legacy Reaching out to those of other faiths and recognizing their important contributions to society is an important part of Mormonism. This happened in late April when, as Intermountain Catholic reports, Latter-day Saint leaders held a farewell luncheon for the Sisters of Saint Benedict in Ogden. Last year, the sisters decided to merge with their founding monastery in Minnesota. They had been in Ogden, Utah, since 1946.
