January 2002 Friend January 2002 The Sabbath Day Sunday is my favorite day of the week because it always makes me feel so refreshed and ready for a new week. I love to go to church and learn about the Savior, Jesus Christ. It helps me to be a bet- ter person and try to do what is right. Sunday is also a good day for me and my family because we have lots of quality time together. Some- times during the week we are busy. No matter what, Sunday is the day to take a break from our everyday lifestyles. It’s a day to slow down and set goals for the week. It’s a time to laugh, share, and show that we care. I try to keep the Sabbath Day holy. To me, Sunday doesn’t end when I leave church. Sunday lasts Tricked! all day. I had only lived in Tokyo, Rickey Jarman, age 11 Japan, a little while.

  • New England-01 Cowan Woodger
    Building the One Hundredth Temple: A Test Case of Religious Freedom in New England Richard O. Cowan and Mary Jane Woodger Thoughts of the Pilgrims and of Roger Williams’s colony pop - ularly evoke an image of New England as a haven of religious free - dom. Unfortunately, those who fled religious persecution in Europe sometimes became the agents of the very intolerance they sought to escape. Examples of this phenomenon can be seen in the early New England religious experience as well as during the closing years of the twentieth century. Latter-day Saints made New England an important missionary field as early as the 1830s. Although most of the Church’s original members had a Yankee background, few remained in New England. During the greater part of the nineteenth century, they heeded the call to gather, joining the Saints in Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, and finally in the Rocky Mountains. But as the century drew to its close, leaders increasingly counseled converts to stay in their homelands and help to build up the Church there. Only then did a Latter-day Saint presence begin its slow growth in New England. After being closed for a quarter of a century, in 1893 the Church’s Eastern States Mission reopened. A decade later, there was still just one branch in New England. When the separate New England Mission was formed in 1937, it had about one thousand members, including those living in Canada’s Maritime Provinces. The 1950s and 1960s brought accelerated growth. During these two decades, the number of Saints in New England mushroomed from just over four thousand to about thirty thousand.

  • The Freiberg Temple: an Unexpected Legacy of a Communist State and a Faithful People
    The Freiberg Temple: An Unexpected Legacy of a Communist State and a Faithful People Raymond M. Kuehne ON APRIL 23, 1983, a groundbreaking ceremony for the only temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints built behind the Iron Curtain was held in the city of Freiberg, in the German Democratic Republic (GDR)—then East Germany. Henry J. Burkhardt, president of the Dresden Germany Mission and a key figure in that surprising event, provided this enduring image of the ceremony: We had invited a long list of government representatives, Communists who did not believe in God, who did not pray. President Monson told them that before we have the ground breaking ceremony, we will dedicate the land. We will bow our heads, fold our hands, and pray to our Heavenly Father. Well, I sat there across from these people and thought, I must work with them. How will they react? I prayed with only one eye, and with the other I looked upon that miracle. All the Communists sat there with RAYMOND M. KUEHNE was born of German immigrant parents and served an LDS mission in Germany. He majored in history at the University of Utah and stud- ied on a Fulbright Fellowship at Marburg University, Germany, for a year. After a year at tke University of Virginia, he opted out of an academic career path and went to work at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland1. Presently retired in St. George, Utah, he writes a monthly column for the local newspaper. A mission call to the Freiberg Temple for him and his wife, Genie, provided a new opportunity to pursue history.

  • Preparing for the Temple Endowment 32
    Preparing for the Temple Endowment 32 OBJECTIVE Each young man will prepare to receive his temple endowment and prepare to make this experience beautiful and sacred. PREPARATION 1. Prayerfully study Doctrine and Covenants 124:40–41 and 105:18. 2. Materials needed: a. Copies of the scriptures (each young man should bring his own). b. Picture 10, Manila Philippines Temple (62591); picture 11, Temple Baptismal Font (62031; Gospel Art Picture Kit 504); and picture 12, Temple Celestial Room. c. You may want to obtain various pictures of temples from your meetinghouse library. d. A piece of paper and a pencil for each young man. e. Pencils for marking scriptures. 3. Write on slips of paper the seven statements about the purpose of temples (found at the beginning of the lesson). 4. Write on slips of paper the nine questions at the end of the lesson. 5. Arrange well in advance to have the bishop teach this lesson, especially the section “Bishop’s presentation.” Provide him with the lesson outline, and help him in any way he wishes to set up the room, provide visual aids, or teach parts of the lesson. He can teach the quorums together or separately. He might even want to have the young women join the young men. Since this lesson covers such an important subject, it is longer than usual and more background material has been provided; therefore, either you or the bishop should prayerfully select which materials to use. Be sure to leave time for the question-answer period at the end of the lesson.

  • Joseph Smith's Perfectionism, How It Was Taught in the Early Lds Church, and Its Contemporary Appli
    NEW VOICES PEDAGOGY OF PERFECTION: JOSEPH SMITH’S PERFECTIONISM, HOW IT WAS TAUGHT IN THE EARLY LDS CHURCH, AND ITS CONTEMPORARY APPLICABILITY Richard Sleegers It is necessary in the ushering in of the dispensation of the fulness of times, which dispensation is now beginning to usher in, that a whole and complete and perfect union, and welding together of dispensations, and keys, and powers, and glories should take place, and be revealed from the days of Adam even to the present time. And not only this, but those things which never have been revealed from the foundation of the world, but have been kept hid from the wise and prudent, shall be revealed unto babes and sucklings in this, the dispensation of the fulness of times.1 The Nauvoo period in LDS history was a time of “welding” for Joseph Smith: bringing together previous revelatory teachings and actively shap- ing rituals into “a whole and complete and perfect union.”2 He believed he was opening a “dispensation,” or a pouring out of knowledge and authority from heaven, and was anxious to finish it. He had a vision—at This paper was written as part of the Neil A.
