(801) 422-7692 E-mail: [email protected] Home page: http://womensconference.byu.edu It’s a joy and an honor to be here, and to think that the new president of Brigham Young University is here sitting on the stand in his second day in office. Remember—it would be one to put in your scrapbook that you attended a meeting when he was only on his second day. What a marvelous president he will be of the university. He is such an outstanding individual, a doctor and famous in that profession. He helped keep the University of Utah on track for a long time before this call came to him. As we thought of all the people in the world who could be called to preside over Brigham Young University at this time, there wasn’t anyone to compare with Cecil Samuelson. What a thrill to be here with you and to know that you’ve been here these days and hours and sessions listening to people giving you ideas, giving you suggestions, talking about your opportunities in life, your obligations, what needs to be done, and what you might be able to accomplish and that you will go home with ideas and desires and recommitment, all things that you would want to do.

  • Patriarchal Blessings and the Routinization of Charisma
    ARTICLES AND ESSAYS Patriarchal Blessings and the Routinization of Charisma Irene M. Bates Patriarchal blessings contemplate an inspired declaration of the lineage of the recipient, and also, where so moved upon by the Spirit, an inspired and prophetic statement of the life mission of the recipient, together with such blessings, cautions, and admonitions as the patriarch may be prompted to give for the accomplishment of such life's mission, it being always made clear that the realization of all promised blessings is conditioned upon faithfulness to the gospel of our Lord, whose servant the patriarch is. THE POLICY OF RECORDING PATRIARCHAL BLESSINGS, copies of which are deposited in the office of the LDS Church Historian, affords a valuable picture of cultural change in the church, perhaps reflective of changes in American society in general. In the interests of privacy, however, the church does not allow access to its copies of blessings, unless there is proof of blood relationship to the recipient. The researcher, therefore, must access blessings recorded in journals, those appearing in other manuscripts, and any blessings which individuals may choose to release for examination and publication. All of the 744 blessings upon which this study is based are drawn from these sources. 1. First Presidency [David O. McKay, Stephen L Richards, and J. Reuben Clark, Jr.] to all stake presidencies, 28 June 1957, in Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine (Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1958), 504. 2.

  • A. Legrand Richards. Called to Teach: the Legacy of Karl G
    A. LeGrand Richards. Called to Teach: The Legacy of Karl G. Maeser. Provo, Utah: Religious Studies Center; Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 2014. Reviewed by Heather M. Seferovich owerful and inspiring teachers can profoundly impact their students, Pboth in this life and in the eternities. Many of us are fortunate to look back fondly on one or two influential teachers who played a criti- cal role in shaping our personalities or careers. Anyone who is a teacher, whether in a formal or informal classroom, or anyone who has had an inspiring teacher will enjoy the educational biography of Karl G. Maeser, written by another teacher, A. LeGrand “Buddy” Richards, a professor of educational leadership in the McKay School of Education at Brigham Young University. Richards was the ideal person to write this book. His great-great- grandfather is Franklin D. Richards, the European Mission president who baptized Maeser; these two families have been intertwined for gen- erations. As a career educator who has also been a visiting professor at the University of Würzburg, Germany, Richards undoubtedly found insights that some classically trained historians might have missed. He wrote, “In many ways, without intentionally setting out to do so, my career has been steered so that I could be prepared to write this book” (vii). While Maeser is a significant figure who has been acknowledged primarily in articles, passing references, and footnotes—but generally overlooked by in-depth studies—he was first and foremost an educator, and this is appropriately reflected in Called to Teach. Writing this biography of Maeser was a labor of love for Richards, who spent about a decade finding everything he could on Maeser; much of this thorough, painstaking research has resulted in new information, especially about the years prior to Maeser’s baptism into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

    These pioneers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints traveled westward from Illinois to escape religious persecution and build a prosperous society of their own in today’s state of Utah. Upon arrival in 1847, these determined individuals immediately set to work in developing the Salt Lake Valley and beyond with rapid success. Later generations of Latter-day Saint settlers, many listed here who were Piee & Chc NfLNcE buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery, have also had tremendous inuence on their religious community and the history of the state. 1 Edward R.

The parental pursuit of first place – in a race intended for 7-10 year olds – gets the best of them as they all disregard the event's ideals and completely take over the design, planning and construction of the cars. In the crazed world of derby fever, the kids are lucky if they get to pick the paint color or attach a decal! Hilarity builds as the dads teeter on the edge of insanity and resort to backstabbing, cover-ups and sabotage. The farce reaches comical and outrageous levels when in the end, a surprise twist reminds us to never take ourselves too seriously or underestimate what kids can do. This comedy satirizes the desperate behavior of parents who compete with one another through their children, a social dynamic seen in everyday activities ranging from little league to beauty pageants to science fairs.

Kimball and the Revelation on Priesthood Edward L. Kimball o doubt the most dramatic moment of the Spencer W. Kimball N administration and probably the highlight of Church history in the twentieth century occurred in June 1978, when the First Presidency announced a revelation allowing worthy men of all races to be ordained to the priesthood and allowing worthy men and women access to all temple ordinances. The history of this issue reaches back to the early years of the Church. Without understanding the background, one cannot appreciate the magnitude of the 1978 revelation. When the Church was very young a few black men were ordained to the priesthood.
