“Was Adolf Hitler Religious?” And Other Burning Matters

Please note the remarkable matching donation offer that has been made in conjunction with the conference. If you give $10 to FairMormon, it can be turned into $20, at no additional cost to you. And, if you’re quick, it can be turned into $30.

Earlier, I believe, I suggested that you save the date of 21 September 2018 for a celebration of the appearance of Royal Skousen’s seminal volume, part of the Book of Mormon Critical Text Project, titled The Nature of the Original Language.

Scratch that.

The celebration will now take place on the evening of Tuesday, 25 September 2018.

Please make a note of that on your calendar, and try to be there. This is an important work. You’ll be part of history if you come.

Hugh B. Brown (1883-1975), who served in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and in the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1958 until his death in 1975, and as an assistant to the Twelve for five years before that, was raised in Canada. Here’s a quotation from him:

“Revealed insights should leave us stricken with the knowledge of how little we really know. It should never lead to an emotional arrogance based upon a false assumption that we somehow have all the answers — that we in fact have a corner on truth. For we do not.”
