Mormon like me
You probably won't find them at the bar downing shots of Patron or at Starbucks waiting for a double-shot espresso, but if you think the closest you've ever been to a Mormon is a Mitt Romney bumper sticker, you're probably wrong. As Romney, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, travels the presidential campaign trail, and the musical "The Book of Mormon" comes to Chicago, it's Mormonism's time to shine. The more than 14 million members the LDS church counts worldwide-including 4,600 members in the Chicago area-make it a prominent Christian religion, and shows like TLC's "Sister Wives" (even if they don't reflect actual Mormon doctrine) draw pop culture attention to the faith.
Romney quotes Book of Mormon in speech
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney struck a somber tone in a speech Friday morning in addressing the fatal shooting at a movie theater in a Denver suburb – and he seemingly harked back to a passage from his faith's signature scripture, the Book of Mormon. “Today we feel not only a sense of grief, but perhaps also of helplessness,” Romney said. “But there is something we can do. We can offer comfort to someone near us who is suffering or heavy-laden. And we can mourn with those who mourn in Colorado.”

"This last week has been one of the most terrifying, confusing, heart wrenching times of my life in regards to my faith (I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). But I want you to know, now, after it all, that I feel stronger and more passionate about this gospel than I ever have before.

Glenn Beck answers your questions about Mormonism
Conservative broadcaster Glenn Beck [devoted] his entire show Thursday on his online TV network to answering questions on a topic he almost never talks about: his Mormon faith. In an e-mail exchange with BuzzFeed, Beck said he typically avoids talking about the religion he converted to in 1999, in part, because he's "not a spokesperson for the church by any means."
A pageant of Mormon history and mirth
Every year in mid-July, Jesus descends from the heavens onto a hillside in bucolic western New York. Should they witness the nighttime scene, evangelical Protestants driving along U.S. Route 21 might worry that they have missed the rapture. Instead, what they have missed is a uniquely American religious festival, concluding its 75th anniversary this weekend. In the Hill Cumorah Pageant, nearly a thousand members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints bring to life the sacred history of their faith. The pageant takes place near Palmyra, the small town in which Joseph Smith Jr. published the Book of Mormon in 1830.

President Spencer W. Kimball Explains What We Know About Life on Other Worlds
By President Spencer W. Kimball
An article by a German astronomer reports that radio astronomers today discuss as a distinct possibility inter-planetary conversation between earth-bound men and creatures on other planets; he "demonstrates" with intricate mathematical logic that planets suitable for life may be fairly common among the stars, and that there are "perhaps ten civilized communities within 1,000 light years of the earth," and "there may well be creatures intelligent enough on some of those planets to transmit radio messages across the enormous distances of interstellar space."
