A reader of this blog by the name of Laralee Nelson shared a couple of links in a blog comment that, with her kind permission (and since they’re in the public domain over at FamilySearch), I’m now sharing here more generally. The first link is to the last will and testament of one Samuel Webb, “a butcher by trade, of Dry Drayton, county of Cambridge.” I quote one particular passage from the document: I am mindful of the tradition...

I’ve been reading a small collection of essays by the late Edward O. Wilson (1929-2021), the Harvard biologist, ecologist, and entomologist who is best known for developing the field of sociobiology: Every Species is a Masterpiece (London: Penguin Books, 2021). Wilson was also, by the way, an outspoken advocate of “scientific humanism” (a term that, indeed, he is said to have coined) and a vocal critic of religious belief, although he denied being an actual atheist. The principal theme... Read more

I read an interesting paper this morning — Stephan A. Schwartz, “Nonlocality and Exceptional Experiences: A Study of Genius, Religious Epiphany, and the Psychic,” Explore 6/4 (July/August 2010): 227-236 — from which I’ll share a few quoted passages. At the time that he published his article, Stephan Schwartz was Senior Samueli Fellow for Brain, Mind, and Healing at the Samueli Institute, in Alexandria, Virginia. First, the abstract: Two hundred years of reductive materialism has failed to explain the extraordinary... Read more

We participated in the first dedicatory service for the new Orem Utah Temple this morning. Elder Hugo E. Martinez, whom we came to know just a bit during a tour of Israel many years ago (prior to his call as a General Authority), conducted the meeting, which featured a pre-recorded video message from President Russell M. Nelson. Elder Kevin R. Duncan led those assembled in the “Hosanna Shout.” Elder Patrick Kearon, who was ordained an apostle just last month,... Read more

I’m so grateful for all of those who contribute time and effort to make Interpreter work — notably including the members of our board — and... Read more
