I would have found this remarkable at any time. But it pleases me especially now, as open and unashamed anti-Semitism erupts on the campuses of several of my country’s elite universities: “Jewish, Latter-day Saint friends found themselves singing together in the Taylorsville Utah Temple: ‘Chills were rising on our skin and tears were forming in our eyes,’ a Jewish leader says after a temple open house tour spontaneously ended with people of both faiths singing together a scripture about brotherhood...

Some of you might find this interview of interest. I did it with Ben Hancock, who is based in the United Kingdom, on his podcast “For All the Saints”: “Latter-Day Saint Scholar Discusses Fasting, Muslims & Ramadan – Daniel C. Peterson” If you can just get past all of my characteristic sneering, slandering, cruelty, irrationality, lying, and buffoonery, you might find one or two worthwhile moments in it.

In our sacrament meeting today, the ward choir performed “Be Still, My Soul.” The words were translated by Jane Borthwick (1813-1897) from the original German of Katharina von Schlegel (b. 1697), and the exquisite music (from Finlandia) was written by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius (1865-1957). If you’re unfamiliar with it, you can listen to one or more versions online, including a performance by the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square: Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy... Read more

This passage from somewhere came across my radar screen earlier today, and I think it worthy of sharing: “I asked an elderly woman once what it was like to be old and to know that the majority of her life was now behind her. She told me that she has been the same age her entire life. She said the voice inside of her head had never aged. She has always just been the same girl. Her mother’s daughter.... Read more

“The Unwritten Debates in Moroni1’s Letter,” written by Morgan Deane Abstract: Moroni1’s letter in Alma 60 is not simply an angry and intemperate screed against the government; it also responds to arguments about just tactics (what modern readers would call ethics) taking place among Nephite leaders at this time. Moroni1’s letter argues for his preferred strategies of active defense and ambush, while interpreting defeat as a failure of leaders. His rhetorical strategy is particularly noteworthy for associating his Nephite... Read more

The rear passenger-side door in our luxurious brand-new minivan — just under 275,000 miles on the odometer! — stopped opening, locking, and unlocking reliably, and we’ve had to go get that fixed. For the second time in the past several weeks. Just in time, as it happens, since our garage door just fell shut and we can’t get the car out onto the driveway until the repairman comes. Which is probably for the best since, owing to our ever-declining... Read more

“A conservative is someone who stands athwart history, yelling Stop, at a time when no one is inclined to do so, or to have much patience with those who so urge it.” (William F. Buckley, Jr.) I was powerfully reminded of that famous early quotation from the late William F. Buckley while reading the following two articles: Deseret News: “What the U.K.’s explosive Cass Review means for gender medicine in the U.S.: The report is a gauntlet thrown down... Read more
