Gather All Safely in Christ April 30–May 1, 2020 Welcome to BYU Women’S Conference Cosponsored by the Relief Society Gather All Safely In Christ April 30–May 1, 2020 Welcome to BYU Women’s Conference Dear Sisters, Welcome to the 2020 Brigham Young University Women’s Conference. We are delighted to have you here, and we thank you for bringing that special “Women’s Conference” spirit of charity and commitment with you. We are very grateful for the co-sponsorship of this conference by the Relief Society. Their guidance and influence in all of our preparations are unparalleled. Together we hope that you will feel answers to your concerns, comfort for your struggles, and encouragement in your efforts. This year’s theme, Gather All Safely In Christ, comes from President Russell M. Nelson’s emphasis on the gathering of scattered Israel in preparation for the Savior’s Second Coming. He has reached out to all of us, daughters of Heavenly Parents, and asked that we do all in our power to assist in bringing our brothers and sisters to Jesus Christ and the blessings of the plan of salvation. In this conference we will explore the many ways we can facilitate this great gathering. We also invite you to respond to our invitation, described on the Women’s Conference website and social media pages, to help illustrate the many ways sisters are contributing to the gathering of Israel. Please share your examples and experiences with us, and we will share them with attendees at Women’s Conference this year. We especially note the second Sister-to-Sister Event on Friday morning as our sister leaders answer questions and concerns from around the world and here at home. We invite you to take advantage of the service opportunities available at the Marriott Center on Thursday morning and during our Thursday evening service event. We thank you in advance for the good you will do. We also thank our friends at Deseret Book for providing another outstanding entertainment event for you on Thursday evening. Our gratitude grows each year for all those who have a part in making this conference possible. And we are especially grateful to have you gather with us this year.

RICKS* This paper's discussion dispenses with the traditional academic refusal to commit in matters of faith. In fact, my religious faith, explained here by reference to scripture' and spiritual experience, to a large degree produces the political commitment I feel with respect to abortion. To write from reason alone and hide my faith would be disingenuous. Moreover, as should be plain to anyone familiar with 2 the legal disputes over abortion, reason alone persuades neither side. Nor has it persuaded me. So, though others have reasoned to conclusions similar to mine, my ultimate understanding does not rest solely on such reasoning. A caveat is in order. I do not speak for the church of which I am a member, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
