We have all seen this picture of Christ knocking at the door. There is no doorknob on his side of the door, so it has to be opened from the backside, which is where we are. What I never thought of until recently is, “What is the question at the door?” When someone knocks on your door, what do you say?

Mormon who led Salt Lake City makeover steps aside

H. David Burton, longtime presiding bishop of the LDS Church and the genial public face of the faith’s decadelong effort to build a mammoth urban community of residences, offices and shops in downtown Salt Lake City, was released Saturday from the ecclesiastical post he has held since 1996.
