LDS Week in Review: 5 Must-Read Stories (Jan 10 - 16)

As of January 7th, the Church had 84,728 missionaries serving--a surprise figure that has held strong after the initial surge that came with the age change announcement almost two and a half years ago.

LDS Church members, missionaries brace for next round of Oklahoma tornado cleanup

LDS Church members and missionaries in Oklahoma are joining forces with members of other faith groups and community service volunteers to do as much cleaning up as possible from the most recent round of tornadoes to hit America's Midwest before the next wave hits this week. "I've been here for 18 years and I've never seen anything quite like this," said Kevin Graves, president the Oklahoma City Oklahoma Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "People are used to tornadoes. It's a fact of life here. It's the sequence, one right after another, that is so unusual. And now they are telling us there are more on the way — maybe as soon as Tuesday. It's unsettling."

Family celebrates LDS missionary who booked—then canceled—passage on Titanic

This week, people everywhere will remember the voyagers aboard the ill-fated RMS Titanic, the ship that, on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City, United States, disastrously struck an iceberg on April 14, 1912, and sank early the next morning, resulting in the deaths of more than 1,500 of its passengers. As the world marks the 100th anniversary of that tragic event, the descendants of Alma Sonne—a former assistant to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles—will also remember the legacy of faith that their progenitor left behind in not being aboard the Titanic.

Mormons shouldn't squirm in the spotlight

I was reminded last week, upon reading Simon Critchley’s opinion piece in the New York Times, what a unique stretch of time we’re in. Much has been written about the Mormon Moment. As a columnist, I’ve been watching this moment snowball for more than a decade, from the rustlings that came during the 2002 Winter Olympics up until now. A lot has changed in that period of time. The number of famous Mormon faces has grown, thanks to reality shows, business success, blogging, politics and some best-selling books. The way we’re scrutinized has changed. A decade ago, the media often deferred to non-Mormon experts on Mormonism. Now they reach more from within the faith to source their stories.
