How do you start an article with the hopes of paying proper tribute to a woman who has literally changed your life? A woman who traveled the world over, ministering to “the one,” while bringing millions closer to Jesus Christ? Well, let me begin by telling you a little bit about this remarkable woman leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (sometimes called the “Mormon Church” by friends of other faiths). Sister Elaine S. Dalton was married to her sweetheart, Stephen E. Dalton, in the Salt Lake Temple. She is the mother of 6 beautiful children (5 sons, 1 daughter), and is the the grandmother of 16 (and counting).
Congratulations to all those headed to the Olympics this week!
Mitt Romney’s campaign for the GOP presidential nomination has yielded a record number of stories with some variation on the title “The Mormon Problem.” They collectively argue that Romney’s Mormonism will make it hard for him to win the nomination because evangelicals are not fans of the Mormon church, and even harder to win the election because Democrats are more anti-Mormon than GOP primary voters.
What are we to think, now that a Mormon has clinched the presidential nomination of one of America’s two major parties? The respectable Victorian men who ruled America’s politics during the 1912 election would have been stricken with chills at the thought of a presidential election a century hence pitting a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints against an African American. So looked at in one way, the 2012 election – like the 2008 – signals that America does seem to be a melting pot. African Americans and Mormons alike – like Catholics before them – once reviled and suspect minorities, are now capable participants in American public life.
The historic photo of all 15 apostles in Rome dressed in white has made waves on social media. With the beautiful backdrop of the Christus and Twelve Apostles statues in the Rome Italy Temple Vistors' Center, the picture has been called a "powerful statement" by many.
Prof. Bushman, the character of Elder Price, an American Mormon missionary in modern-day Uganda, questions his faith, but regains it while performing the song, “I Believe.” He sings, “I believe that God has a plan for all of us. / I believe that plan involves me getting my own planet.” Is that lyric based in Mormon belief?
Six videos to 33. Three languages to 13. What started almost a year ago as a small collection of videos focusing on the birth of Jesus Christ has now grown to a collection depicting a variety of stories and people from the life and ministry of the Savior. Bible Videos, announced last December at the First Presidency Christmas Devotional, are based on the King James Version of the Bible and were filmed on the Jerusalem set at the Church’s LDS Motion Picture Studio South Campus in Goshen, Utah. They are now available at biblevideos.lds.org, in Cantonese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Russian, Samoan, and Tongan, as well as the original release languages of English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
Fun
At Ensign Park in Salt Lake City, Utah, the Swedish Mormons gathered Primary children together to sing a beautiful rendition of "The Family Is of God." If you need a little testimony boost today, watch this video and remember, as Elder Hales taught, "The eternal nature of an individual becomes the eternal nature of the family. . . . All people who will ever live on earth are members of a human family and are eternal children of God, our loving Heavenly Father."
On Sunday morning, Dec. 7, 1941, Elder Wayne M. Winegar had just listened to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing the words, “All is well.”
Since the first hymnbook was assembled by Emma Smith, Latter-day Saints have used hymns to “invite the Spirit of the Lord, create a feeling of reverence, unify [them] as members, and provide a way for [them] to offer praises to the Lord” (see “First Presidency Preface,” Hymns, ix). But at the official 1985 launch ceremony for the Hymns of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a new period of LDS music was ushered in.
