Mormon Families Among Filipinos Helping Their Neighbors

First came the mammoth earthquake on Oct. 15. Then the raging typhoon on Nov. 7. The back-to-back disasters provided LDS Bishop Henry Patalinghug, wife Russel and other Mormons in the Philippines a chance to help their suffering neighbors. Bishop Patalinghug, who oversees the Busay Ward in Cebu City, traveled by boat to the epicenter of the earthquake with 18 other Mormon men skilled in carpentry and masonry on the first weekend in November. They were scheduled to continue to sacrifice three days each weekend until the jobs were done, but before they could leave again Friday, word came that Typhoon Haiphan was rampaging toward them.

New Conference Center Exhibit Highlights Women in the Scriptures

Visitors to the Conference Center in Salt Lake City will see 11 new paintings of courageous women from the scriptures on the west side of the plaza level. The oil paintings are the works of artist Kathleen Peterson, who lives on an 80-acre farm with her husband in central Utah’s rural Spring City. Peterson, the mother of four grown children and a grandmother, paints in her home studio.

The Prophet Joseph Smith was no double-dealing cynic

This past Monday, June 27, marked the anniversary of the assassination of the Prophet Joseph Smith. I've been thinking of him. For a critic wanting to reject Joseph's own account, there are, broadly speaking, only two logical alternatives for explaining him: Either he was a false prophet but thought he was a real one, or he was a false prophet and knew that he was a false prophet. That is to say, again in general terms, that he must have been either dishonest or delusional, or some hybrid of the two.

UNC's paper notes star player's choice to serve LDS mission

By all accounts, Stilman White is living the dream. In just one year, the North Carolina point guard has gone from being the Tar Heels’ last resort to being their answer. But despite the progress he’s made on the basketball court, White is more than willing to leave that dream-come-true behind. At least for a little while.

Jay Leno Drives Mormon Meteor III

While Jay Leno has made a name for himself in the online world as the man lucky enough to drive some of the best supercars on the planet in his Jay Leno’s Garage web-series, the latest episode of Jay Leno’s Garage is a little different but still every bit as special. In the following clip, Jay Leno was given the once-in-a-lifetime to drive the legendary and one-off Mormon Meteor III racing car which when new, managed to set numerous world records. The Mormon Meteor III was the second Mormon Meteor created by Ab Jenkins specifically to set new land speed records and featured a 26-liter Curtiss Conqueror airplane engine.

Two Arizona friends, wardmembers battle for Senate

Arizona’s Republican Senate primary is heating up—and it’s bound to make for some awkward church barbecues. That’s because the only two candidates currently in the nomination race come from the same, relatively small Mormon “ward” in north Mesa—a congregation now anxiously divided by a campaign that pits two longtime friends and neighbors against each other.

Church Makes Changes to Young Women Camp Program

“What we hope will be one of the major changes with using the Young Women Camp Guide is the involvement of the youth camp leaders," Sister Bonnie L. Oscarson, Young Women general president, told the Church News.

Some residents unhappy about former bank becoming LDS meeting hall

Laurel Street businessowners had mixed reactions when they learned The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) received unanimous approval at a Dec. 13 zoning board meeting to use 75 N. Laurel St., formerly a Century Savings Bank branch, as a meeting hall. “I don’t have anything against the LDS,” said Harry Gates, owner and operator of Cumberland Tire Center, which is just down the street from the building.

Mormon church is conspicuously absent in Md. same-sex marriage referendum

Maryland activists working to overturn same-sex marriage have had to get used to one surprising absence from their religious coalition: Mormons. A huge amount of Mormon money and foot soldiers and the support of church leadership were credited with an epic win for traditional marriage in 2008 when California voters approved Proposition 8, which said that only marriage between a man and woman would be recognized in the state. And the D.C. region has one of the largest communities of Mormons outside the West.
