Days of '47 Parade Floats Since 1897 Photo Gallery

The streets of Salt Lake City are days away from being filled with horses, motorcycles, clowns and — most noticeably — fantastical floats created out of wood, foam and sparkles (among other things) at the annual Days of '47 Parade.

Church members are invited to share new Book of Mormon app with friends

In 1981, the Book of Mormon was made more accessible with footnotes, indices, and chapter summaries. Now, 30 years later, the Church is releasing the Book of Mormon in a new format: the Book of Mormon mobile app. Just as print copies of the Book of Mormon are powerful tools in missionary work, the Book of Mormon app can also be effective for sharing the gospel. Church members are invited to consider how they might share the app with friends and family who might not be familiar with the Book of Mormon. Banners are available on the Church Facebook page, which members can use on their websites or blogs to let others know about the new app.

‘Mormon Moment’ RIP

Thank goodness that the Mormon Moment has finally come to an end. It’s been six months—a year, maybe—and what with all the Broadway musicals, billboards and radio ads, magazine spreads, the op-eds and the letters responding to the op-eds, the television news stories, the daytime pundits, the night-time pundits, the op-eds responding to the pundits and the letters excoriating the op-ed responses to the pundits, this Mormon is exhausted. Now that the country has voted the highest Mormon in the land back to Boston or Wolfeboro or wherever, I’m looking forward to a well-earned break from the country’s daily construction of my identity.

Romney says his Mormon tithing shouldn’t be public

Mitt Romney says in a new interview that one of the reasons he’s distressed about disclosing his tax returns is that everyone sees how much money he and his wife, Ann, have donated to the LDS Church, and that’s a number he wants to keep private. "Our church doesn’t publish how much people have given," Romney tells Parade magazine in an edition due out Sunday. "This is done entirely privately. One of the downsides of releasing one’s financial information is that this is now all public, but we had never intended our contributions to be known. It’s a very personal thing between ourselves and our commitment to our God and to our church."

Missionary Moment: The Conversion of an Anti-Mormon

On January 5, 1985, Elder Jeff Keeney of Tempe, Arizona, in response to a request by his mission president, sat down in the chapel in Chevy Chase, Maryland, to answer this question, "Describe the most spiritual experience of your mission." Pausing a few moments, he wrote the following: “It began last December, early one morning, when the phone rang. On the other line, we heard those wonderful words, “Elder, I've got a hot one for you!” Elder Sackley, the director of the Washington D.C. Temple Visitors Center, had someone who wanted to be taught the Gospel.
