In many ways this meeting is the most National News important one we hold during the year. I remember Office Staff Updates 3 when I took over as president of the Brigham Membership Report 3 Young Chapter in 2012, I went to the Presidents’ Chapter News Council meeting with many more questions than Centerville Chapter 4 answers. I did not understand the Chapter Cotton Mission Chapter 5 Recognition Awards program. I did not know just Jordan River Temple Chapter 5 what the relationship between our chapter and the Mesa Chapter 6 national organization was. Mills Chapter 6 Morgan Chapter 7 Perhaps the biggest challenge was that the national Ogden Pioneer Chapter 7 organization had not been able to select a chapter Ogden Valley Chapter 8 for that year’s national convention, and Dick Red Rock Chapter 8 Christiansen had asked our chapter to sponsor it. I Salt Lake City Chapter 9 had never been involved in sponsoring an SUP Sevier Valley Chapter 9 national convention before. Fortunately, I had Taylorsville/Bennion Chapter 10 served on the local arrangements committee for Temple Fork Chapter 10 national conventions of other organizations, so I Upper Snake River Valley Chapter 11 had some idea what we needed to do.

  • Temple Gives US
    THE Temple Gives US By Jean B. Bingham Relief Society General President ome of our most vivid and significant memories of living in the midwestern United States as young parents are of yearly visits to the temple in Washington, D.C. At the time, it was the only Stemple in operation east of the Mississippi River. Knowing that temple ordinances are essential for all of Heavenly Father’s children gave a sense of urgency to our efforts. Like many of you, we arranged for friends to care for our small children, traveled through the night with a busload of fellow mem­ bers, spent a couple of precious days doing as much temple work as we could, and then rode the bus home through the night so we could attend our Church meetings on Sunday. Those trips did not seem to be sacrifices; they were cherished because of the spiritual uplift that fed our souls for months afterward. A few years later, we were thrilled to welcome the Chicago Illinois Temple, the first temple built in the North America Central Area since the Cardston Alberta Temple 62 years earlier. With a temple only 45 minutes from our home, it was a joy for us to attend more often than once a year and to receive that spiritual food on a regular basis. Yet today, though some of us live within closer reach of a temple, we may still find it difficult to attend frequently. It may be that the easier availability of a temple lulls us into thinking, “I’ll go tomorrow, when I have more time.” It is easy to become distracted by immediate pressures and let more important opportunities slide away.

  • Mormon Marriage: “Between a Man and a Woman” for the Living — Polygamy for the Dead
    Mormon marriage: “Between a man and a woman” for the living — polygamy for the dead By Helen Radkey October 1, 2013 Mormon marriage hypocrisy The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints publicly condemned the U.S. Supreme Court‟s decisions that bolster same-sex marriages in California. In a statement issued within hours of the Supreme Court‟s affirmative rulings on June 26, 2013, a Church spokesperson criticized the judicial system, and reaffirmed the LDS Church‟s commitment “to strengthening traditional marriage between a man and a woman.” As Hawaii is poised to consider a marriage equality bill, the LDS Church, which has a large presence in Hawaii, has again entered the fight on the same-sex marriage issue. In a letter dated September 15, 2013, LDS leaders across the state are encouraging Hawaiian Mormons to study the proposed legislation, and then as private citizens contact their elected representatives in the Hawaii legislature to express their views. The letter tells Church members to review Church publications on the topic, including “The Family: A Proclamation to the World,” a document that endorses one man/one woman as the ideal for marriage: http://www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/proclamation-on-the-family . While the public face of the LDS Church opposes same-sex unions and proclaims marriage between one man and one woman, inside costly Mormon temples—and well away from public scrutiny—the private face of the LDS Church backs polygamy to the hilt with ceremonial gusto. Along with the heavy volume of monogamous, male-female marriage rites for the living and the dead, polygamous rites by proxy—for both deceased men and women, but mainly for men—are routinely executed in Mormon temples.
