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.

Photos: Muppets Join Mormon Tabernacle Choir for Holiday Concert
"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. The first of three evening performances took place Thursday; the event also includes a Sunday-morning broadcast of "Music and the Spoken Word."
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.
Mitt Romney worships with family on vacation in New Hampshire
Every year, Mitt Romney and his family spend a week at his estate on picturesque Lake Winnipesaukee. They go boating, play games — and attend church, an expression of the faith that’s fundamentally shaped the Republican presidential candidate. Romney, the first Mormon to clinch the presidential nomination of a major party, attended services Sunday with his wife, Ann, five sons, five daughters-in-law and 18 grandchildren. They made up nearly a third of the congregation that gathered inside the small, nondescript building that houses this tiny resort town’s branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Criticism follows Businessweek cover on Mormon Church finances
The new Bloomberg Businessweek magazine cover on LDS Church finances drew broad-based criticism Thursday. "The Businessweek cover is in such poor taste it is difficult to even find the words to comment on it," said Michael Purdy, a spokesman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "Sadly, the cover is a reflection of the bias and speculative nature of the article itself. It is narrow and incomplete, omitting, for instance, a good deal of information given on how church resources are used.
Jewish rabbi: A Mormon walks into a temple...
Throughout the two decades I have spent in the rabbinate, I have never met a Mormon at an interfaith event. I do not recall a Mormon ever speaking at a synagogue. Recently I decided that doesn't make sense and that the burden is on me to do some outreach to rectify the situation. I realized this when I was watching the televised Tony Awards that featured songs from "The Book of Mormon." One of the songs made jokes about the beliefs of Mormons. It bothered me and made me wonder how I would feel about a show that ridiculed Jewish theology.
