I’m very pleased to announce an exciting new competition for readers of Sic et Non.

 

Over the past month or two, Latter-day Saints have been rocked by unexpected revelations of sordid truths about the leadership of their church — for example, that people called to abandon their careers and give their full time to ecclesiastical service are not expected to forage in dumpsters or go door to door with begging bowls in order to support their families; that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir will once again be singing at an American presidential inauguration organized by a bipartisan congressional committee (this time, in the presence of Donald Trump, and of Barack Obama and George W. Bush and Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton and Jimmy Carter); and that members of the Twelve sometimes meet with secular (and, occasionally, even non-Mormon) experts in order to better understand what’s going on in places like China and the Middle East and with subjects like American jurisprudence on religious liberty.

 

In this new contest, Sic et Non readers are invited to predict the next appalling horror that will emerge.

 

All they have to do is name or describe the inevitable forthcoming scandal in a comment posted either directly on the blog here or else in a Facebook post appended to this blog-entry announcement of the prize competition.

 

Winners will be guaranteed free online access to every weekly article published in Interpreter: A Journal of Mormon Scripture, as well as to all its scripture roundtables, blog entries, and other postings!
