Students at the new high school under construction in Draper could get a unique opportunity — release time seminary taught by Summum, a Salt Lake City-based religion that practices meditation and mummification. On Monday, Canyons School District received a letter from Su Menu, president of Summum, inquiring about purchasing land adjacent to the planned schoolhouse, which has been designated as a “seminary” on an architectural site plan.

As everybody knows, Mitt Romney is a Mormon, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; and while he is hardly the first Mormon to run for president (Morris Udall, Orrin Hatch, his own father George Romney), he is the first member of his denomination to have what appears to be a plausible chance of being elected. This has awakened some disquieting ghosts.
Tourists stroll among the faithful, their conversations competing with the birds and fountains. Old couples walk hand in hand amid a steady stream of brides and grooms emerging from the massive granite temple.Temple Square, the world headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, emanates harmony. But fresh anxieties pulse just below the surface.
In my line of work, I get to read what a lot of people say about my church.
