  • RSC Style Guide
    Religious Studies Center Style Guide, 1 October 2018 Authors who submit manuscripts for potential publication should generally follow the guidelines in The Chicago Manual of Style, 17th ed. (Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 2017) and Style Guide for Editors and Writers, 5th ed. (Salt Lake City: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2013). This style guide summarizes the main principles in the other style guides and lists a few exceptions to their guidelines. Formatting 1. Use double-spacing throughout the manuscript and the endnotes. Use one-inch margins, and insert page numbers at the bottom of the page. Use a Times New Roman 12-point font for both the body of the manuscript and the notes. Use only one space after periods. 2. If you have images, add captions and courtesy lines (such as courtesy of Church History Library, Salt Lake City) to the Word file. However, do not insert images in the Word files; submit them separately. Images should be 300 dpi or better (TIFF or JPG files). File names and captions should match (Fig. 1.1 = chapter 1, figure 1). Headings 3. Update: Include headings to break up the text. First-Level Headings First-level headings should be flush left and bolded, as in the example above. Capitalize internal words except for articles (a, an, and the), conjunctions (and, but, or, for, so, and yet), prepositions, and the word to in infinitive phrases. Second-Level Headings Second-level headings should be flush left and italicized. Capitalize like first-level headings. Third-level headings. Third-level headings should be italicized, followed by a period, and run in to the text; capitalization should be handled sentence-style (capitalize the first word and proper nouns).

  • Cynthia Doxey, “The Mormon Tabernacle Choir's European
    Cynthia Doxey, “The Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s European Tours,” in Regional Studies in Latter-day Saint Church History: Europe, ed. Donald Q. Cannon and Brent L. Top (Provo, UT: Religious Studies Center, Brigham Young University, 2003), 185–99. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s European Tours Cynthia Doxey Throughout the approximately 150 years of its history, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir has grown from a singing group whose major purpose was to provide music for Church meetings held at the Tabernacle on Temple Square in Salt Lake City to a choir with an international reputation. In 1893 an invitation came to the Tabernacle Choir to perform at the Columbian Exhibition for the Chicago World’s Fair. The trip to Chicago is recognized as the choir’s first concert tour outside of Utah. During the twentieth century, the choir gained both a national and international reputation because of its numerous recordings, weekly radio and television broadcast of Music and the Spoken Word, and tours to many areas of the world. Now the Tabernacle Choir stands among the most well-known entities of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In fact, former United States President Ronald Reagan described the choir as “America’s most [1] renowned musical ensemble.” While the Tabernacle Choir has traveled widely throughout the world, this paper will focus on its five European concert tours and how the tours strengthened the Church in Europe. Jerold D. Ottley, retired music director of the choir, has said that “the Tabernacle Choir is the flag-bearer that [2] leads the parade.” In other words, while the choir is not the “parade,” or the substance of the gospel, it can often prepare individuals and countries to receive the message of the Church.
