Amos and Andy and The Book of Mormon
The creators of the play Book of Mormon have created the Amos and Andy for the South Park set. We may laugh, but our grandchildren will shudder as decent folk do at “wits” of the last century whose favorite dance was to “jump Jim Crow.”
LDS Church and Others File Amicus Brief on Marriage Cases
Five religious organizations, including The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, filed an amicus ("friend-of-the-court") brief today with the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. The brief addresses two cases before the court that seek to redefine traditional marriage.
The Stripling Warriors' Missing Fathers
The story of the 2,000 stripling warriors is one of the great Book of Mormon stories. It demonstrates the power of faith, and how God can bless and protect those that serve Him. I will get on to the point of the post, but first, a brief recap for those unfamiliar with their story:
Michelle King: Advice you would give your 21-year-old self, and mental illness challenges, on 'Mormon Times' TV
We take our cameras onto Temple Square to pose the question, “Given the chance, what life advice would you offer your 21-year-old self?” It’s a thought-provoking question, and several of you gave us some great answers you won’t want to miss.
Correlation is why LDS high priests and MIA maids learn basically the same stuff
Have you ever wondered why LDS church lessons seem to be recycled every few years? Or why the lesson manuals can be used in high priests group, elder’s quorum, Relief Society classes? Or why there isn’t much distinction between what is taught to the high priests or the MIA maids? It’s called correlation, and despite the opening of this blog, there’s actually as many positives to it than there are negatives.

Life portrayed in Mormon ads not consistent with reality?
The ads are effective and intriguing: attractive, energetic, articulate Mormons sharing what makes them so interestingly, so uniquely and so memorably “a Mormon.”
Catholic Students’ Artwork Displayed at Los Angeles Temple Visitors Center
An elementary school art project in West Los Angeles became the spark that not only ignited stronger ties between members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Catholics, but also introduced several hundred children, parents and teachers to the Los Angeles Temple Visitors’ Center.
LDS singles programs: A model for Jews?

From singles wards (congregations) at Brigham Young University to singles conferences throughout the world, singles in the LDS dating pool are brought together on a weekly basis to worship, have fun, date, and marry, preferably in a temple. I have not always enjoyed exploring the Mormon singles scene, but am eternally grateful that the church’s singles program encouraged and guided my fiancée and me towards the ultimate goal of a temple marriage. While I love pointing out areas in which Mormons can learn from Jews, in this case I think that Jews could learn a thing or two from Mormons about providing opportunities for singles to marry within the faith.

10 Gospel Truths from Disney
The theology of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is founded on the premise that Jesus Christ restored his Church through the prophet Joseph Smith after appearing to him in vision. Gordon B. Hinckley once related the story of a man who heard this story from a bishop and described the account as “more Disney than Disney.”
Modern Archaeology Supports Book of Mormon Origins
In the late 1820s, when Joseph Smith announced that he’d recovered an ancient book that had been written on metal plates and concealed by one of its authors in a stone box, his claim was widely derided. It still is.
