Cerebus Rex II: the Second Half
Cerebus Rex II: The Second Half Hello, and welcome to Cerebus Rex II. Written by the Cerebus Fangirl and part by Daniel, it summarizes the second half of Cerebus from issue #150 to #300. It can be found on the internet at http://www.cerebusfangirl.com/rex/ Flight Issue #151 : The novel opens with Cirin in the Papal Library of the Eastern Church looking for books on the One True Ascension. The books that don't meet her criteria are thrown in the Furnaces. So far no books meet her requirements. The demon Khem realizes it has no reason to exist any longer. So it turns into itself and disappears. Cerebus is creating bloody hell in the streets of Iest. Cirin refuses to believe her troops that it is indeed Cerebus. The Judge appears to Death and tells it that it is not Death but a lesser Demon. Death ceases to exist. Lord Julius is sign briefly. Issue #152 : Cerebus fights more Cirinists and (male) on lookers start cheering for "the Pope." They start talking back to the Cirinists. General Norma Swartskof telepathically shows Cirin what Cerebus has been doing. The Black Blossom Lotus magic charm is in the Feld River, the magic leaves it's form and turns into a narrow band of light (the blossom disappears) and two coins that are over 1,400 years old start spinning together in a circle. The report from Cirin is to take Cerebus alive. The General thinks otherwise and orders him KILLED. Issue #153 : Cerebus climbs to a balcony and urges the citizens of Iest that it is the time for Vengeance, for them to grab a weapon, to take back their city and to kill the Cirinists. -

The Secret Mormon Meetings of 1922
University of Nevada, Reno THE SECRET MORMON MEETINGS OF 1922 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History By Shannon Caldwell Montez C. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D. / Thesis Advisor December 2019 Copyright by Shannon Caldwell Montez 2019 All Rights Reserved UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA RENO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by SHANNON CALDWELL MONTEZ entitled The Secret Mormon Meetings of 1922 be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS C. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D., Advisor Cameron B. Strang, Ph.D., Committee Member Greta E. de Jong, Ph.D., Committee Member Erin E. Stiles, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December 2019 i Abstract B. H. Roberts presented information to the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January of 1922 that fundamentally challenged the entire premise of their religious beliefs. New research shows that in addition to church leadership, this information was also presented during the neXt few months to a select group of highly educated Mormon men and women outside of church hierarchy. This group represented many aspects of Mormon belief, different areas of eXpertise, and varying approaches to dealing with challenging information. Their stories create a beautiful tapestry of Mormon life in the transition years from polygamy, frontier life, and resistance to statehood, assimilation, and respectability. A study of the people involved illuminates an important, overlooked, underappreciated, and eXciting period of Mormon history. -
Healing and Making Peace—In the World and in The
Healing and Making Peace—In the World and the Church By Eugene England This essay examines the ways that feelings of being unjustly treated can lead us into terribly destructive cycles of revenge, and England then uses scripture and stories from history and Shakespeare to suggest that the only way to heal such rifts is through proactively following Christ’s gospel and its emphasis on offering genuine mercy . Originally published : Sunstone 15, no. 6 (December 1991): 36–46. N THE FALL of 1955, Charlotte and I were living in Mapusaga, a small village I in American Samoa. We had been married two years and had been missionaries to the Polynesians for a year and a half. Charlotte was five months pregnant. We were teaching a woman named Taligu E’e, who had Mormon relatives and who had agreed to meet us each Wednesday afternoon. We would walk to her fale , her circu - lar, open, thatch-roofed home, and teach her in broken Samoan one of the lessons from the systematic missionary teaching guide. She would listen politely and impassively, her eyes looking down at the mats we sat on, and after we finished would serve us the meal she had prepared. One Wednesday we taught her the plan of salvation. We told her how we had all chosen to come to earth, with Christ, who had offered himself as our Savior, and how important it was to follow him if we knew him. Then I told her how, by doing temple work, we could help those who had died without knowing Christ, but who were being taught about him in the spirit world. -

Becoming a World Religion: Blacks, the Poor—All of Us By Eugene England This essay, originally given as a talk at the 1998 Sunstone West Symposium held in Los Angeles, California, illustrates the ways that Mormons continue to be both racist and classist, and argues that for people to learn to accept the unconditional love God has for us as manifest through the Atonement, we must truly become, like God, “no respecter of persons.” Originally published : Sunstone 21, no. 2 (June-July 1998): 49–60. ROM THE VERY earliest days in the 1830s, of what they called “the Restora - F tion,” the leaders of a tiny American sect known as Mormonism, though reviled and persecuted and driven, have constantly repeated the astounding claim that their church would not only succeed but would grow into a world religion—in fact, the world religion. In 1831, the Lord announced through Joseph Smith that “the keys of the kingdom of God are committed unto man on the earth, and from thence shall the gospel roll forth unto the ends of the earth, as the stone that is cut out of the mountain without hands shall roll forth, until it has filled the whole earth” (D&C 65:2). Since then, we Latter-day Saints have thought ourselves to be the chosen ones to fulfill that prophecy made first in Daniel’s interpretation of the dream of Nebuchadnezzar. He saw, you remember, a great composite figure representing the kingdoms of the world, from the head of gold to feet and toes of clay, that was smitten by a stone which then “became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth” (Dan. -

Mormon Literature: Progress and Prospects by Eugene England
Mormon Literature: Progress and Prospects By Eugene England This essay is the culmination of several attempts England made throughout his life to assess the state of Mormon literature and letters. The version below, a slightly revised and updated version of the one that appeared in David J. Whittaker, ed., Mormon Americana: A Guide to Sources and Collections in the United States (Provo, Utah: BYU Studies, 1995), 455–505, is the one that appeared in the tribute issue Irreantum published following England’s death. Originally published in: Irreantum 3, no. 3 (Autumn 2001): 67–93. This, the single most comprehensive essay on the history and theory of Mormon literature, first appeared in 1982 and has been republished and expanded several times in keeping up with developments in Mormon letters and Eugene England’s own thinking. Anyone seriously interested in LDS literature could not do better than to use this visionary and bibliographic essay as their curriculum. 1 ExpEctations MorMonisM hAs bEEn called a “new religious tradition,” in some respects as different from traditional Christianity as the religion of Jesus was from traditional Judaism. 2 its beginnings in appearances by God, Jesus Christ, and ancient prophets to Joseph smith and in the recovery of lost scriptures and the revelation of new ones; its dramatic history of persecution, a literal exodus to a promised land, and the build - ing of an impressive “empire” in the Great basin desert—all this has combined to make Mormons in some ways an ethnic people as well as a religious community. Mormon faith is grounded in literal theophanies, concrete historical experience, and tangible artifacts (including the book of Mormon, the irrigated fields of the Wasatch Front, and the great stone pioneer temples of Utah) in certain ways that make Mormons more like ancient Jews and early Christians and Muslims than, say, baptists or Lutherans.
