  • 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).

  • 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.
