  • RSC Style Guide
    Religious Studies Center Style Guide, 1 October 2018 Authors who submit manuscripts for potential publication should generally follow the guidelines in The Chicago Manual of Style, 17th ed. (Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 2017) and Style Guide for Editors and Writers, 5th ed. (Salt Lake City: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2013). This style guide summarizes the main principles in the other style guides and lists a few exceptions to their guidelines. Formatting 1. Use double-spacing throughout the manuscript and the endnotes. Use one-inch margins, and insert page numbers at the bottom of the page. Use a Times New Roman 12-point font for both the body of the manuscript and the notes. Use only one space after periods. 2. If you have images, add captions and courtesy lines (such as courtesy of Church History Library, Salt Lake City) to the Word file. However, do not insert images in the Word files; submit them separately. Images should be 300 dpi or better (TIFF or JPG files). File names and captions should match (Fig. 1.1 = chapter 1, figure 1). Headings 3. Update: Include headings to break up the text. First-Level Headings First-level headings should be flush left and bolded, as in the example above. Capitalize internal words except for articles (a, an, and the), conjunctions (and, but, or, for, so, and yet), prepositions, and the word to in infinitive phrases. Second-Level Headings Second-level headings should be flush left and italicized. Capitalize like first-level headings. Third-level headings. Third-level headings should be italicized, followed by a period, and run in to the text; capitalization should be handled sentence-style (capitalize the first word and proper nouns).

En 1997, para conmemorar el 150 aniversario de la llegada de los pioneros el 24 de julio de 1847, “pioneros” modernos Santos de los Últimos Días recrearon el viaje desde Winter Quarters, Nebraska, hasta el Valle del Lago Salado. Esta imagen se basa en esa recreación. El himno “¡Oh, está todo bien!”, escrito por William Clayton en 1846, se aplica a ambos grupos de pioneros: Santos, venid, sin miedo, sin temor, mas con gozo andad. Aunque cruel jornada ésta es, Dios nos da Su bondad. Mejor nos es el procurar afán inútil alejar, y paz será el galardón. ¡Oh, está todo bien!

  • Byu Religious Education FALL 2017 REVIEW
    byu religious education FALL 2017 REVIEW CALENDAR COMMENTS INTERVIEWS & SPOTLIGHTS STUDENT & TEACHER UPDATES BOOKS Becoming Scholar-Teachers Recently retired religious educator Kent P. Jackson message from the deans’ office Thinking Globally at the RSC n our day, it seems, everyone is thinking global. INowhere is global perspective more exciting than in the context of the gospel. The story of Church expansion in the international setting over the past several decades has been truly phenomenal. A recently published RSC volume, The Worldwide Church, indicates that over the last thirty years the Church has grown abroad over 500 percent. Fortuitously, this period of growth has coincided with the emergence of the Religious Studies Center as a significant publisher of Church history. As we reflect on the recent growth of the Church, we wonder what the membership of the Church will look like in the coming decades. The answer to this question has important implications for the RSC and its mission to “encourage and publish faithful scholarship.” Publishing works on global Church history and advancement of the Church worldwide has been a key commitment of the RSC. The list of recent RSC publications dedicated to such history includes Mormons in the Piazza: History of the Latter-day Saints in Italy, The Field Is White: Harvest in the Three Counties of England, Voice of the Saints in Taiwan, and Canadian Mormons. As the Church continues to grow and expand into various areas of the world, there will continue to be a wealth of opportunities to tell the story of LDS beginnings in these places.

  • Faith in Every Footstep: Local Leadership and Fortieth Anniversary (1990–99)
    chapter 8 Faith in Every Footstep: Local Leadership and Fortieth Anniversary (1990–99) he Church continued to grow and mature throughout its first forty years among the Chinese people in Taiwan. In the T1990s, the number of stakes in Taiwan doubled from three to six. There was one stake organized in the 1970s, two in the 1980s, and three in the 1990s, all staffed by local members. Additional leadership roles were given to local Chinese members during this decade, as they exercised “Faith in Every Footstep,” the theme for the Church’s pioneer sesquicentennial in 1997. In 1996, forty years after the first missionaries arrived in Taiwan, the Church News reported there were two missions with more than 300 missionaries, four mission districts, and four stakes with about 22,000 members in twenty-two wards and thirty-one branches in Taiwan.1 Church membership grew from 17,239 to 26,805 between 1989 and 1999. The Church in Taiwan was abreast to the one in the United States, with its full range of pro- grams, training, materials, and resources during this period. Key events in the 1990s included the organization of additional stakes, the leadership training by visiting authorities and the new Asia Area Presidency, and the Church’s continuous focus on the VOICE OF THE SAINTS family. The 1990s also included the call of the first Chinese temple presidents, Area Seventy, and General Authority, as well as Taiwan’s celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the Church on the island in 1996 and the reopening of the Kaohsiung Taiwan Mission.
