En 1997, para conmemorar el 150 aniversario de la llegada de los pioneros el 24 de julio de 1847, “pioneros” modernos Santos de los Últimos Días recrearon el viaje desde Winter Quarters, Nebraska, hasta el Valle del Lago Salado. 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. Aunque cruel jornada ésta es, Dios nos da Su bondad. Mejor nos es el procurar afán inútil alejar, y paz será el galardón. ¡Oh, está todo bien!

  • Byu Religious Education FALL 2017 REVIEW
    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.

  • Notable Homes Tour 10 12 13
    Yalecrest Notable Homes Tour Lower Harvard and Yale Avenues October 12, 2013 ab Introduction We welcome you to this walking tour of Yalecrest, part of the National Register of Historic Places. It is sponsored by K.E.E.P. Yalecrest, a newly formed charitable organization established to help preserve and protect the Yalecrest neighborhood through advocacy, education and recognition of its community, history, landscapes and historic architecture. The architectural variety and concentration of period cottages found in Yalecrest is unrivaled in the state. During the tour, which will take about 50 minutes, we will stop in front of 18 homes or points of interest and give brief, descriptive narratives of the architecture, history and in some cases, interesting facts about those who once lived here. The vast majority of Yalecrest’s historic homes were built by prominent architects and developers from 1910 through 1939. They reflect styles ranging from English Cottage and English Tudor to French Norman, Dutch Colonial, Spanish Colonial Revival, Modern Art Deco, and Prairie School – some of which you will see today. There are 1,487 homes in Yalecrest and an overwhelming majority—91 percent—are considered historically significant. Fifty-eight percent are English Cottage and 19 percent are Bungalows. Yalecrest is also visually distinctive from neighboring areas because of its uniform streetscapes, large, mature shade trees, landscaping, and the scale and setback of homes that blend so nicely with the natural topography of the creeks and gullies that cross the area. When we stop in front of one of the featured houses, we would ask you to be courteous and stay on the sidewalk— avoiding front lawns, gardens and even driveways.
