Mid-Atlantic Mormons organize unprecedented 'Day to Serve'

What a day. An inspiring, monumental "Day to Serve," that is. That was the sentiment of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, three governors, a mayor and thousands of volunteers Saturday, Sept. 29, when residents of Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia and the District of Columbia came together to perform nearly 750 service projects. Together, they served more than 14,000 people and collected more than 600,000 pounds of food to feed the hungry.

Understanding what matters and what doesn't

It’s a story we’ve told many times before, but it deserves repeating here because of the powerful lesson it teaches about family priorities. While serving as Mormon mission president in London, we got a call one day from headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was Arthur Haycock, secretary to President Spencer W. Kimball, who in his mind-mannered, humble way said, “President, we hate to impose, but the prophet will be coming to London next week on his way to the continent and if it wouldn’t be too much trouble, do you think you and Sister Eyre could meet our flight at Heathrow Airport and get us to our hotel in London?

Steven Kapp Perry: Emily Thomas, bridging the worlds of the deaf and the hearing

For some deaf recipients of cochlear implants, it can take up to 10 years to learn to distinguish sounds and to speak. But for Emily Thomas, from Oklahoma, it was a miraculously short period of less than two years — years that coincided with her finding the gospel and deciding that God’s gift of words to her was a sacred trust. In this audio interview with Thomas, a professional counselor who has been deaf since birth, you’ll learn three things deaf church members wish hearing members understood about them, hear a remarkable story of the gospel of Jesus Christ bringing a family together after a decade and generally bask in the glow of someone full of the light of the Lord.

Rising rock band Imagine Dragons trying to be a 'positive force'

Jeff and Debbie Sermon don't particularly like their son's long hair and offbeat look, but they're so proud of his band's success, they're willing to live with it. D Wayne Sermon is part of a new rock band that's making the late night talk show circuit and that Billboard Magazine called "one of 2012's brightest new stars." Imagine Dragons has signed with Interscope Records and has a tour lined up that includes major cities and stops.

A Box of Chocolates and a Getaway

By Jack S. Marshall

My wife, Lizzie, came home one day, giggling, and handed me a piece of paper, saying how much she loved the story on it. It read: “Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car.

Fire focuses faith during LDS services in Idaho, Arizona

July's Fast Sunday was filled with expressions of faith and determination to press onward for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints whose lives have been impacted recently by fire. "Fast Sunday" is what Latter-day Saints call the first Sunday of each month. The term comes from the monthly LDS practice of abstaining from food and drink for two meals and donating to a special church fund for the care of the poor and needy the money that would have otherwise been spent on food. Fast Sunday is also the day when local LDS worship services are traditionally unplanned, with the time that is usually allotted for sermons left open for members of the congregation to stand and share extemporaneous expressions of faith.

The Mormon conversation America needs

There is a tension--mostly healthy--within contemporary Mormonism. Mormons both want to be distinctive and to find full acceptance within American society. Striking that balance has proven difficult. For the most part, Mormons have been distinguished by their distinctiveness. Mormons are distinct in some big ways. They have a unique theology, new scripture, and on at least some issues, hold opinions that are far from the norm. According to the new survey of Mormons by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, 94 percent of Mormons believe that the president of the LDS Church is a prophet of God, and 91 percent believe that the Book of Mormon was written by ancient prophets and translated by Joseph Smith.
