12 myths about Mormons — From caffeine to the Bible to birth control
As Americans cast their ballots and the clock ticks toward midnight in Mitt Romney’s presidential quest, this much is clear: Americans didn’t know much about the candidate’s LDS faith when this "Mormon moment" began.

Why Religion Matters: The Ground We Walk On
What does it mean to take something for granted? Every day we walk on ground we seldom notice. It’s just there, underneath us, supporting our feet as we go about our days learning, working and worshiping. Though often unseen, the ground of our lives is full of religious meaning.

Amid an athletic industry replete with falls from grace, Te'o's repeated claims of innocence do little to address assertions that no relationship could survive on texts and tweets alone. But, according to some LDS scholars, his Mormon faith might. Stephen Weber, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints chaplain at Yale University, has worked with thousands of Mormon college students in his 35-year career. Weber, a life-long member of the LDS church, says that those looking for answers in the Te'o controversy may benefit from a better understanding of Mormon dating.

Elder Holland impressed by uniformity of Mormons' devotion during his travels
After traveling to the Middle East and three European nations from February 20 through March 4, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve summed up his trip by saying that the uniformity of faithful devotion he found among Latter-day Saints of diverse cultures and nations was more striking than the differences in their languages and geographies.

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.
