A Mormon, 2 Catholics and a Protestant go into a homeless shelter
Religiously speaking, this presidential election is a fascinating moment in our national life, and for multiple reasons. First, one party nominated a Mormon and a Roman Catholic as president and vice president respectively, the first time in American history that a major party ticket has excluded a Protestant! This is not the first time a Mormon has sought the presidency. The father of the present Republican nominee unsuccessfully pursued that party’s nomination in 1968.

BYU features photographer Dorothea Lange's 'Three Mormon Towns'
In the summer of 1953, American photographer Dorothea Lange traveled to southern Utah where she met up with her long-time friend, Ansel Adams. The two photographers spent three weeks photographing the landscape and people in the Mormon towns of Toquerville, Gunlock and St. George with the intention of publishing the work in LIFE magazine. Ms. Lange's enthusiasm for her subject yielded hundreds of photographs from which she composed an extended essay of 135 photographs, including images by Ansel Adams. Thirty-five of those photographs with text by Daniel Dixon appeared under the title "Three Mormon Towns" in the Sept. 6, 1954, issue of LIFE.
