Faith and Knowledge Conference(s): Call for Papers and Past Experiences

Last updated on: October 23, 2010 at 8:30 pm By benspackman

Several years ago, a conference was organized by Richard Bushman, Terryl Givens, and several LDS graduate students. Concerned by perceptions of a general abandoning of faith among LDS grad students in religion-related fields, the conference’s focus was encapsulated in its title, Faith and Knowledge.

Family traditions

Last updated on: October 22, 2010 at 10:09 pm By erin

General Conference has come and gone, and the holidays are fast approaching, reminding me of family traditions. Our traditions are pretty low key. We go to church together. The night before General Conference, the boys sleep in a tent in our living room, making sure that the door of the tent is facing the nearest temple. We have Family Home Evening on Mondays. We eat blue pancakes for breakfast on BYU’s opening game day for football. We read Luke 2... Read more

The Purpose of Pain

Last updated on: October 21, 2010 at 11:01 am By emilyu

I gave birth to a beautiful 7 lb girl two weeks ago. I wanted a natural delivery, and my midwife suggested the “hypnobirthing” method of dealing with pain. The method is all about breathing. One is supposed to be able to put oneself into a state of deep relaxation though breathing exercises. My hypnobirthing book said that, with practice, many hypnobirthing mothers can put themselves quickly into such a state of relaxation that contractions feel like nothing more than “tightening”...

Thoughts on wrestling with lesson prep, the manual, and teaching the teachers.

Last updated on: October 20, 2010 at 11:55 am By benspackman

Over at FaithPromotingRumor, TT analyzes a collection of statements from various manuals about using “outside” materials in preparing lessons. That’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while, because I’ve suspected that Church materials are not entirely consistent with their directives about this. At one extreme is the unsigned Church News article (the authority of which can be debated), which more or less states that you can’t even use uncorrelated materials to prepare a lesson and that “Everything you need...

Remembering Catherine

Last updated on: October 19, 2010 at 4:06 pm By erin

There was a recent bout of stomach flu at my house. In a period of 4 hours, my three children vomited 11 times. I was grateful to be living in a house with a washer and dryer, since we moved fairly recently out of an apartment with only public, coin-operated laundry facilities. I considered what it might have been like living in an earlier time and trying to cope with such an illness: chopping wood to make a fire to... Read more

Review: Terry Eagleton’s “Reason, Faith, and Revolution: Reflections on the God Debate”

Last updated on: October 17, 2010 at 9:09 pm By bhodges

For the most part, it has been a squalid tale of bigotry, superstition, wishful thinking, and oppressive ideology. I therefore have a good deal of sympathy with its rationalist and humanist critics” (xi). So Terry Eagleton begins his critique of the... Read more

The Deseret News as the Church’s political voice?

Last updated on: September 22, 2010 at 2:18 pm By emilyu

The New York Times ran an article last Sunday titled “Mormon-Owned Paper Stands With Immigrants.” It described how the Deseret News’ often sympathetic writing about illegal immigrants has incurred the wrath of it’s “conservative, mostly Mormon, readers.” The article claims that any editorial the paper runs carries the Church’s unofficial seal of approval and hence has the power to shape opinions in the largely Mormon Utah legislature, which could be particularly important right now since the legislature is considering a...
