More on public affairs interview

Posted on August 30, 2006 - Filed Under Any | 232 Comments

The commentary on the public affairs interview on same-gender attraction is fascinating for me to read. Most of it has been respectful, although there have been several comments that have been over-emotional and downright rude.

I was baptized at the age of 8, like most kids in active member families. Though I donâ€™t have a lot of memories from that young age, I am very happy to report I remember my baptism quite well.

Stem Cells Redux

Posted on August 24, 2006 - Filed Under Any | 51 Comments

I’m curious as to how those with ethical qualms about stem cell research view the latest discovery of how to harvest cells and cultivate them without destroying the embryo. Is this acceptable to those of you who have ethical objections to previous stem cell approaches? As ever one has to be careful. […]

Artwork

Last week several writers, beginning with Eric Russell at Motley Vision and continuing with Christian Y. Cardall at The Spinozist Mormon and Nate Oman at Times and Seasons, addressed the conflict or lack thereof between being a great artist and a faithful disciple in Christ’s church. The attention was focused on whether devotion to […]
