  • Policing the Borders of Identity At
    POLICING THE BORDERS OF IDENTITY AT THE MORMON MIRACLE PAGEANT Kent R. Bean A dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2005 Jack Santino, Advisor Richard C. Gebhardt, Graduate Faculty Representative John Warren Nathan Richardson William A. Wilson ii ABSTRACT Jack Santino, Advisor While Mormons were once the “black sheep” of Christianity, engaging in communal economic arrangements, polygamy, and other practices, they have, since the turn of the twentieth century, modernized, Americanized, and “Christianized.” While many of their doctrines still cause mainstream Christians to deny them entrance into the Christian fold, Mormons’ performance of Christianity marks them as not only Christian, but as perhaps the best Christians. At the annual Mormon Miracle Pageant in Manti, Utah, held to celebrate the origins of the Mormon founding, Evangelical counter- Mormons gather to distribute literature and attempt to dissuade pageant-goers from their Mormonism. The hugeness of the pageant and the smallness of the town displace Christianity as de facto center and make Mormonism the central religion. Cast to the periphery, counter-Mormons must attempt to reassert the centrality of Christianity. Counter-Mormons and Mormons also wrangle over control of terms. These “turf wars” over issues of doctrine are much more about power than doctrinal “purity”: who gets to authoritatively speak for Mormonism. Meanwhile, as Mormonism moves Christianward, this creates room for Mormon fundamentalism, as small groups of dissidents lay claim to Joseph Smith’s “original” Mormonism. Manti is home of the True and Living Church of Jesus Christ of Saints of the Last Days, a group that broke away from the Mormon Church in 1994 and considers the mainstream church apostate, offering a challenge to its dominance in this time and place.

  • Seventy-Five Years of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Music and The
    Lloyd D. Newell: Seventy-Five Years of Music and the Spoken Word 127 Seventy-Five Years of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s Music and the Spoken Word, 1929–2004: A History of the Broadcast of America’s Choir Lloyd D. Newell Many years ago, my mother gave me an old upright Philco radio that she listened to on the farm in Central, Idaho. It belonged to her parents, my Grandpa and Grandma Lloyd, and is a cherished family heirloom. Even with antique tubes and wiring, it still works. Its wooden frame is smooth and mostly unmarked for all the history it embodies. Only the station identifier for KSL is missing, perhaps from repeated use. Today, the radio is promi- nently displayed in our home. For me, it is a visual and aural link between the early years of Music and the Spoken Word and today. In my mind’s eye, I can see my grandpa, the grandma I never knew, and my mother and her siblings gathered around the Philco in their clapboard farmhouse. My mother told me that on Sundays they would tune in to Salt Lake City radio station KSL and the Tabernacle Choir broadcast of Music and the Spoken Word. Life was not easy on that vast expanse of farmland in southeastern Idaho. The tiny town of Central was far from everything except Grace and Soda Springs, and even they seemed worlds apart. So on Sunday when they could listen to the Tabernacle Choir from hundreds of miles away, it was a small miracle. Week after week, they came to look forward to the program’s soothing tones and inspired messages.
