Although I no longer possess public political opinions or interests, I’m reliably informed that a national election is approaching in the United States of America. In fact, I’ve actually seen apparent political news coverage. (And somebody to whom I’m as close as anybody possibly can be really, really, really liked this article.) But I have a complaint about how political issues are covered, at least in this country: Almost all of the coverage is analogous to the coverage that... Read more

I was surprisingly sad to leave Switzerland this time. As we were packing up to leave the house in which we’d been staying, the couple that takes care of the place arrived to tidy up after us for the absentee landlord, who is a lifelong friend of theirs (but who now resides in the United States and is currently serving a mission with his wife in England). We ended up talking for quite a while. They’re long-time temple workers... Read more

Last comments from Europe, for a while

Well, the FAIR LDS conferences in Europe ended a week ago (though two or three solo presentations may remain). They were, I think, reasonably successful. The in-person attendance in Rome was disappointingly poor, but the audiences in Salzburg and Göteborg were fairly good. And, in all cases, the talks were recorded, translated, and made available—or will soon be made available—online. One of the obvious benefits of the FAIR LDS conferences, however, is that they provided considerable merriment and a... Read more

Farewell to Rivendell?

First of all, I wish a happy Juneteenth to everybody out there. It’s a great day to remember. I first visited Switzerland fifty-four years ago. Yes, I’m that old. It was a brief visit, on a six-week tour of Europe with a busload of recent high school graduates. We stayed for a couple of nights in Saas-Fee and visited Zermatt, where we saw the Matterhorn. I fell instantly in love with the country, and I decided that I wanted... Read more

We headed out this morning along the northern shore of the Brienzersee (through Ringgenberg, which was probably my most important tracting area in the Berner Oberland and perhaps altogether in my mission, and where I had a remarkable set of unexpected experiences with the local Protestant pastor), back over the Brünigpass to Altdorf and over the spectacular Klausenpass. When we reached Linthal, on the other side of the Pass over in Kanton Glarus, we turned around and retraced our... Read more

This morning, we drove from Zürich down past Luzern and then over the Brünig Pass to Interlaken, where I spent seven months of my mission. Strictly speaking, we drove to a “suburb” of Interlaken called Matten, where a Swiss friend who earned a doctorate in the United States and who has lived and worked in America for decades still owns the home in which he grew up. He called me three or four years ago and asked whether I... Read more

I taught the Sunday school class this morning (on Alma 5-7) in what I think is the Västra Frölunda Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The ward meets in the building in which we held the FAIR conference yesterday — though it’s a different ward from where we attended (and I gave a fireside) when we were here eight years for the previous FAIR here. It still looks new and contemporary, but I’m told that... Read more

I maintain a blog for many reasons. Irritating a small handful of folks on the Peterson Obsession Board was an afterthought, and it has never been among my primary motivations.. One of those reasons 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... Read more

A new, 54-minute-long episode of the series A Marvelous Work — an episode that, shockingly, includes me — has been posted on the website of Scripture Central. Watch it at your own risk: “Who Actually Saw the Gold Plates? | A Marvelous Work Episode 5” The final gathering in the series of European FAIR conferences for 2024 drew a respectable audience today, largely filling one of the local Göteborg-area chapels. And, of course, it was recorded (and it... Read more

Rhodes Abstract: With the popularity of social media growing exponentially, prominent critics of the Church are leveraging the platforms, particularly YouTube, as a key resource to produce thousands of negative videos about the Church. The accusations made in the videos about Church history, leadership, doctrine, and culture are so numerous that it... Read more
