Tales of the Gloucester Crypt

Our focus today was on the city of Gloucester, and most particular on the city’s cathedral. When I think of Gloucester, I’m afraid that the very first thing that occurs to me is Richard III, who reigned from 1483 until his death — the last English king to die in combat and the last of the Plantagenet monarchs — at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. Prior to his brief tenure as king of England, Richard was... Read more

In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s 1890 novel The Sign of the Four, Sherlock Holmes explains his method as a private detective to Dr. Watson: “When you have eliminated the impossible,” he says, “whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” If a person is determined to disbelieve in the proposition that Jesus rose physically from the dead, if that person dismisses the notion as flatly impossible and unworthy of serious consideration, just about any alternative hypothesis might serve...

With others who remained of our tour group, we walked up Gloucester Road this morning, then down Cromwell Road past the magnificent Natural History Museum. We turned left on Exhibition Road to the Hyde Park Chapel, where we attended sacrament meeting. I was curious as to whether I would meet anybody there that I knew, this time around. (The first time I attended sacrament meeting at Hyde Park, I ran into Don Marshall. The last time, Governor Gary... Read more

Well, our tour is at an end, and some of our number have already headed off. All good things must pass. (In this world, anyway.) We did just two stops today, but they were both fairly lengthy, and both focused on extraordinarily important religious sites. (In response to no discernible demand from the general public, I’ll probably post a narrative summary of the overall tour in a day or two or three. After all, this blog serves as... Read more

Two new articles appeared earlier today on the website of the Interpreter Foundation: “Doctrine and Covenants 21: Metanarrative of the Restoration,” written by Steven L. Olsen Abstract: Joseph Smith dictated Doctrine and Covenants 21 at the inaugural meeting of the Church of Jesus Christ on April 6, 1830. The present study examines the literary craftsmanship of the revelation to plumb the depths of its role in the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The analysis explores the meaning of patterns of... Read more

I maintain a blog for many reasons. One of them is purely personal: It’s a kind of journal for me, and, even more particularly, it’s a way of remembering things, and especially of remembering people, whose memory I refuse to allow to be wholly lost. So, for instance, I’m afraid that readers of this blog will have to put up with my regular yearly memorials to my brother and my parents. This week, though, marks the ninth anniversary... Read more

I published a new article in Meridian Magazine yesterday, and I hope that somebody, somewhere, will read it: “Did Christ Visit England?” Our superb Latter-day Saint guide here in the United Kingdom, Peter Fagg, shared a couple of quotations with us a few days back that, with his kind help, I want to share with you. The first comes from President Lorenzo Snow. On 1 January 1901, in the Tabernacle of the Church of Jesus Christ... Read more

Let us remember Emma Jackson Adams

Last updated on: June 12, 2023 at 4:30 pm By Dan Peterson

A young Englishwoman named Emma Jackson (1830-1885) converted to the church by 1852 if not earlier, because, by that year, she was in Liverpool preparing to emigrate to Zion. While still there in Liverpool she met a fellow convert named Samuel Lorenzo Adams (1833-1910). Eventually, Brother Adams was called into the office of the Presiding Elder — very possibly Elder Franklin D. Richards of the Twelve — and was informed that he could sail the next day. This...
