  • The Life of George Brooks Artist in Stone by Juanita Brooks 1965
    The Life of George Brooks Artist in Stone by Juanita Brooks 1965 Chapter 1 BACKGROUND AND EARLY LIFE For ages the rocky promitory on the north extremity of Wales has jutted out into the sea, to be known by the early inhabitants of the area as “The Point of Ayr.” Surrounded on three sides by water, with a low, gravelly beach at low tide, it became inundated up to several feet at high tide, and a boiling, foaming torrent in storms. It was such a hazard to seafaring men that by 1700 it was marked with a small lighthouse, erected for and supported by the merchants of Chester, far down at the end of the bay, As the city of Liverpool grew in importance, this danger spot became their concern also, for their commerce was constantly threatened by the submerged rocks. During the summer of 1963, the author, her husband, William Brooks, and her daughter, Mrs. Thales A. Derrick, visited the lighthouse here at the point of Ayr and became acquainted with a man who gave them the address of the present owner of the property, Mr. H. F. Lewis. In a letter dated August 27, 1963, he said: “. The Elder Brethren of Trinity House, who did not like privately owned lighthouses, heard of the defaulting of the Port of Chester Authority & petitioned the King in 1815 to have the jurisdiction of the L. H. Placed under their auspices. This was granted by King George III. I have this document as the first of the L. H. Deeds . “Originally the keeper lived ashore at the house still known as the Lighthouse cottage.

Though it is God who changes people, the early Adventists employed specific spiritual practices to place themselves in His presence. Research revealed five main spiritual disciplines that shaped the Advent leaders and by extension the church. The first is Bible study: placing the Holy Scriptures as the foundation for all beliefs. The second is prayer: communication and communion with God.

  • The State of Mormon Literature and Criticism
    The State of Mormon Literature and Criticism Gideon Burton and Neal Kramer Gideon Burton and Neal Kramer both serve on the board of the Association for Mormon Letters. In consultation with Dialogue's editors, they have chosen and edited the selections for this issue. Two DECADES HAVE PASSED SINCE Dialogue last published an issue entirely devoted to Mormon literature. In the meantime literary writing about Latter-day Saints has been burgeoning both in LDS and national mar- kets—so much so that it is difficult for literary critics to keep up with this growing body of novels, plays, poetry, and literary nonfiction. It is very important, however, that they try. To have a sense of the future of Mor- mon literature, it is vital that we see how present writings articulate with traditions from the past. Producing literary criticism to do just that is the central function of the Association for Mormon Letters, whose goal is to serve authors, scholars, and general readers of Mormon literature. In our yearly confer- ence, through readings, book reviews, a very active e-mail list, and now an annual writers' workshop and a small quarterly literary magazine, Ir- reantum, we attempt to introduce people to Mormon literature past and present and to critically evaluate it. In this issue of Dialogue, we share with a broader public some of the best criticism that has been generated at our conferences and published in the annuals of the Association, as well as a sampling of new creative works from active writers. As editors we have found our task different from the one faced by editors of Dialogue's prior literary issues because the object of our study has been evolving, as have our means of literary analysis.

  • 1413 JS&Restoratoin Sperry Live
    1413 JS&Restoratoin Sperry live 9/8/05 3:13 PM Page 109 CHAPTER SEVEN JOSEPH SMITH AND THE RESTORATION OF TEMPLE SERVICE RICHARD O. COWAN President Gordon B. Hinckley declared that “no member of the Church has received the ultimate which this Church has to give until he or she has received his or her temple blessings in the house of the Lord.”1 President Thomas S. Monson, in like spirit, affirmed that the construction of temples “is the ultimate mark of maturity” of the Church in a given area.2 In former dispensations, sacred temples had at least two major functions. First, they were regarded as places of contact between heaven and earth, or of communication between God and man (see, for example, Exodus 25:8, 22). Second, these sacred structures were also places for performing holy priesthood ordinances (see D&C 124:38). Both of these significant functions would need to be a part of the “restitution of all things” (Acts 3:21) when the Lord would “gather together in one all things” during “the dispensation of the fulness of times” (Ephesians 1:10). Joseph Smith would be intimately involved in this restoration of temple service, and it would constitute a major contribution of his ministry. In 1823 the angel Moroni anticipated the restoration of temple service when he told Joseph Smith about the existence of the Book of Mormon record. The angelic visitor emphasized that the gospel needed to go forth so that a people might be prepared for Christ’s millennial reign.3 The angel then cited several biblical prophecies Richard O.

    RECONSIDERING RELIGION: TOWARDS A BROADER UNDERSTANDING OF MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION IN U.S. PUBLIC SCHOOLS By MALILA N.

Robinson Dissertation Director: Catherine A. Lugg This dissertation analyzed the legal and policy issues involved with teaching about religion in U.S. public schools as part of a multicultural curriculum. U.S. public schools are government entities, and thus, the people who work within the public education system are bound by U.S. laws, policies, regulations and court rulings relating to schools. This dissertation used federal and lower court rulings dealing with Constitutional demands for the separation of church and state and the resulting public school policies and practices to highlight the difficulties many school teachers and administrators have attempting to sift through dense and often vague or contradictory legal dicta contained therein. Additionally, this dissertation combined
