I’ve already offered summaries of most of the presentations at Saturday’s Interpreter Foundation conference here and here. I’ll finish with such summarizing in this post. The fourth speaker during the afternoon portion of the conference was Professor Stephen D. Ricks, a longtime friend and both a former department colleague of mine and a former missionary companion in German-speaking Switzerland, who is also the principal organizer of the Temple on Mount Zion conferences. He addressed the topic of “Premortal Existence... Read more

Yesterday, I provided a few notes on the two morning sessions of the Seventh Interpreter Matthew B. Brown Memorial Conference, Temple on Mount Zion 2024, which focused on the theme “Seership, Craftsmanship, and Fellowship.” Today, I’ll continue with that effort. (We’ll see how far I get.) Those who returned sufficiently early from lunch were treated to a showing of Willy and Lilly Binene and the Saints of Luputa, an episode in the Interpreter Foundation’s Africa-focused Not by Bread Alone...

Today, I attended the Seventh Interpreter Matthew B. Brown Memorial Conference. The overall theme of these conferences, as befits Matt Brown’s interests, is “The Temple on Mount Zion.” The theme of this particular 2024 iteration of the conference was “Seership, Craftsmanship, and Fellowship.” The conference was not live-streamed, but it was recorded, and I presume that the conference videos will eventually be made public. In the end, too, the proceedings of the conference, perhaps including (in at least some... Read more

I’m pleased to announce that a second (and final) set of “sneak peek” early screenings for the new Interpreter Foundation film Six Days in August will occur on Monday, 7 October — which is the day after General Conference — in the same nine Cinemark theaters that offered last night’s showings: Salt Lake City, Draper, American Fork, Orem, Midvale/Sandy, Farmington, Ogden, Provo, and West Jordan: “Six Days in August – Early Access” You might be amused to learn that...

Well, I always knew that it would happen someday. I knew that I was bound to make a mistake. And I did. It happened this morning, when John Donovan Wilson (who plays Brigham Young in Six Days in August) and I were being interviewed earlier today by Tim Hughes and Amanda Dickson during their Utah’s Morning News program on KSL NewsRadio. (John and his wife, Twyla, who portrays Mary Ann Angell Young in the film) were on a KSL-TV... Read more

Yes, I’m reminding you yet again of the Six Days in August event that will be held tomorrow (Wednesday) night in the SCERA Center for the Arts, which is located in Orem: “Unveiling History: Six Days in August Fireside.” And I’m calling your attention once more to the “sneak peek” early screenings of Six Days in August that will be given in nine Carmike theaters along the Wasatch Front — in Ogden, Farmington, Salt Lake City, West Jordan, Midvale/Sandy,...

Well, the click-bait headline worked, didn’t it? Gotcha! But here are a couple of brief items before we get to that: Have you seen Six Days in August Official Trailer #2? Take a look. Apparently it’s more popular with women than with men, whereas Official Trailer #1 is evidently preferred by men more than women. The invaluable Jacob Hess strikes again: “National study finds Latter-day Saints are the faith community ‘most resilient to political division and polarization’: Strong prohibitions in... Read more

My wife and I attended Scripture Central’s annual “Moroni Day” dinner and program last night in the Hyatt Regency in Salt Lake City. We enjoyed it (not least for the conversations with friends there both before and afterwards), and we were impressed — as we were intended to be! — by the scope of what our colleagues at Scripture Central are doing. Out of the wreckage of the old Maxwell Institute some wonderful things have emerged. It’s very possible,... Read more
