Created or Discovered? (Part One)

Two or three weeks ago, I posted an entry here under the title of “God’s Equation.” It reminded me of a pair of blog entries that I had posted roughly five years ago and that seem directly relevant to the issues that it raised. I want to return to those issues: I first read about Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920) back when I was in eighth or ninth grade, probably either in James R. Newman’s four-volume The World of Mathematics or in... Read more

I missed the first installment of the BYUtv series mentioned here, but I look forward to seeing it when we’re back. This promises to be quite interesting. I’m especially glad that they took up the story from Ghana: “‘Voices for Faith’ Part 1: In defense of religious freedom: During ‘The Freeze’ in Ghana, Latter-day Saints were restricted from gathering to worship, demonstrating the value of religious freedom” And, of course, you shouldn’t miss Becoming Brigham (becomingbrigham.com). The sixteenth (16th) installment... Read more

“Am I Not a Man and a Brother?”

We walked around the area of Liverpool’s Albert Docks this morning in cold and blustery weather. (Fortunately, the rain was light and short-lived.) This was the port through which passed most of the Latter-day Saint converts from England and from continental Europe. My Norwegian Lutheran grandmother also sailed to North America from Liverpool. She was alone and just eighteen, and I’m astonished at her courage. We also visited World of Wedgwood, in Staffordshire, the relevance of which to the... Read more

Episode 16 of Becoming Brigham is now up online: “Who was more loyal, Emma Smith or Brigham Young?” Perhaps you should watch it? We opened the day with a multi-hour walking tour of Church historic sites in Preston, where the missionaries first arrived in 1837 and where the Church’s oldest continuously functioning congregation meets. Among other things, we walked down through Avenham Park, where an official memorial to the church pioneers is located in the Japanese Garden, to the... Read more

Two abbeys, a cathedral, and a seventh-century English poet

We began the day by walking (through the Shambles, no less) to the magnificent York Minster, the Cathedral of York (or, officially, the Cathedral and Metropolitan Church of Saint Peter in York), for a Sunday morning service. The congregation wasn’t very large — our group made up at least a third of it, I would guess — and by far most of those in it were pretty plainly tourists (judging from the fact that they were clearly struggling, as...

The first Boston, and Lincoln

Last updated on: May 9, 2026 at 5:16 pm By Dan Peterson

We began the morning by driving to Boston, a market town and inland port in the English county of Lincolnshire. The name Boston is said to be a contraction of “Saint Botolph’s town” — named after a seventh-century Saxon abbot — with tun being an Old English, Old Norse, and modern Norwegian term for a “hamlet” or a “farm.” In Latin, Boston was known as villa Sancti Botulfi “St. Botulf’s village,” and the name Botulfeston appears in 1460. By the... Read more

One of the principal motivations behind our Becoming Brigham series (becomingbrigham.com) is our sense that Brigham Young has been libeled, traduced, and slandered to such an extent that even some innocent members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been taken in — and their testimonies of the Restoration damaged — by the constant drumbeat of criticisms and misrepresentations. The attacks on Brother Brigham are, of course, challenging to faith in him as an apostle and... Read more

“A Grief Observed”

Tonight, we attended a performance of Shadowlands at the Aldwych Theatre in the West End, starring Hugh Bonneville as C. S. Lewis and Maggie Siff as Joy Davidman. It’s based, ultimately, on the story behind Lewis’s A Grief Observed, which was pseudonymously published in 1961 by Faber and Faber. (T. S. Eliot, who was one of the company’s directors at the time, is said to have found the book intensely moving.) Apart from a few points in the play... Read more
