J. Max Wilson — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 16:45:09 +0000

[Cross-Posted from Sixteen Small Stones] A few years ago my brother, Ben, visited Ghana to do some research into how music, drums, and rhythm are used in traditional practices and shamanism.

Explain it to me better: A Response to CNN on Mormonism

They might not agree with everything on the video, but the respect for it runs strong. Perhaps Mormons are grateful for any perceived neutral or positive presentation of the [...]

Acumen of the Mormon MBA

Where a previous post looked at the perception of Mormonism as a business, this one looks at the secular success of Mormon individuals. When the LDS Church was first founded, there was no hint of a financial powerhouse in the making. If anything, the complete opposite seemed to be the case. Joseph Smith came from [...]

Everywhere online they pop up where videos are shared, especially the most popular Youtube website.

Near the end the person will pronounce they are a Mormon like some curtain has be drawn [...]

Sweet Differences: Vancouver BC Temple Open House

Ben Pratt — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 09:25:18 +0000

For an inhabitant of the Seattle area, visiting Vancouver, BC is like traveling to a nearby parallel universe. The climate and the general look and feel of the place are about right, but like the Kinder Eggs we enjoyed there, Vancouver is loaded with surprises that not only aren’t chocolate, they should be played with [...]

International week and my missionary moment

Brian Duffin — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:30:37 +0000

The impetus for International Week at M* came out of a missionary experience I had a few weeks ago with someone who spoke Portuguese, my mission language. After posting about my missionary experience on Facebook, the ensuing discussion evolved to posting in our mission languages. At M*, there are three of us that speak Portuguese: [...]
