FIRST PRESIDENCY MESSAGE AChristmas with No Presents By President James E. Faust Second Counselor in the First Presidency have been thinking about what makes Christmas such a great time in our lives. I am old enough to remember many Christmases. They have all been glorious. But I have learned that it isn’t just the presents Y PAUL MANN Y PAUL I that make them great.

Father had no job because he was going through law Y DON BUSATH; ILLUSTRATION B ILLUSTRATION Y DON BUSATH; school at the University of Utah. He had a wife and three young sons. Grandfather and Grandmother knew that we would have no Christmas if we did not come down to the farm in Millard County. So all of our family took the train from Salt Lake to Leamington, Utah. Where the PHOTOGRAPH OF PRESIDENT FAUST B OF PRESIDENT FAUST PHOTOGRAPH money came for the tickets, I will never know.

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.

    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.
