    The So-Called Terrorism Link to the LDS Church Explained

    No, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS, Mormon) has not funneled millions into propping up Hamas or any terrorist organization. Despite claims that the Mormon Church has donated millions of dollars to Islamist-aligned terror organizations, the truth is more complicated. The church has many humanitarian projects and charities it donates to, and some of them are in the Middle East, but they simply are not in the business of propping up governments, but rather caring for God's children. There is a scandal in this story, but it wasn't the one I expected.

    The Ancient Art Symbols That Unlock The Temple Endowment | Library of Godwin Interview

    Many Latter-day Saints feel frustrated with their temple experience because it's so different from their weekly Sabbath worship. Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are filled with symbols that feel foreign, but are actually ancient and filled with complex meaning. Caleb Williams, an artist known as Library of Godwin, is known for his lithograph, esoteric pieces that feature ancient Christian symbols to distill profound messages about faith and the beauty of our doctrine. In this episode, we break down the symbols in his art, and use it as a launching pad to discuss where these symbols show up in ancient Christian and Jewish art, and how it can inform our Latter-day Saint (LDS, Mormon) temple worship.

    Why the Church Won't Take a Side on Immigration (Thank Goodness)

    As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS, Mormon), how should you respond to the debates around immigration in the United States right now?If you think the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints supports your view of ICE and immigration debates, you may want to read their statements more closely.This is a tough moment in the United States, with ICE crackdowns, Nick Shirley covering fraud cases among Minnesota immigrants, intensifying immigration concerns in Minnesota, culminating in the shooting of now two Minnesota protesters by ICE agents in the last few weeks.Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints fall on both sides of the political aisle, but when it comes to immigration and ICE debates in the United States, which side is the church on?The truth is, neither. If you’re looking for church policy or doctrine to validate your particular political position, you’ll probably be able to cherry pick something, but the Church as an institution does not fall into a single political tribe and if you think it does, you may want to more closely read their statements.

    How Polygamy Accidentally Created Latter-day Saint Women Missionaries

    Polygamy accidentally created sister missionaries and lowered the missionary age for everyone. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church, Mormon Church) just announced that women can serve full-time proselyting missions as young as 18 years old. This means that both men and women will be serving lds missions at the same age, forever altering the gender dynamics of Mormon missions around the Church. This decision represents the culmination of over 150 years of evolution of what it means to be an LDS missionary and how that fits into our model of priesthood.
