\"Where<\/a>
The 1978 Revelation on Priesthood was received in the Salt Lake City Utah Temple
(LDS.org)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Like many of you, I hope, I very much enjoyed Friday night\u2019s commemoration of the 1978 revelation on priesthood. \u00a0I particularly liked the spoken parts, which were, in some cases, very moving \u2014 and, in one case, plainly quite emotional for one of those on stage.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here are some items that I thought some of you might find of value in that connection:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cExtending the Blessings of the Priesthood\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cRace, the Priesthood, and Temples: A History of the Priesthood Ban (and How It Ended)\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cElder Christofferson on Why We Need to Be Better at Embracing Diversity + How It Strengthens the Church\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s something that might be rather controversial:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cVicarious Performative Wokeness: The White Ex-Mormon\u2019s Burden\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

And here\u2019s something that\u2019s available via the website of the Interpreter Foundation:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cA Global History of Black Mormons,\u201d with Russell Stevenson<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

A review of a book recently published by the Interpreter Foundation:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hoskisson and Peterson, eds., \u201cTo Seek the Law of the Lord\u201d: essays in honor of John W. Welch<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

***<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Church has recently created a brief \u201cNow You Know\u201d video on the subject of baptism for the dead:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBaptism for the Dead\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I hope that it will be widely shared by Mormon bloggers and by Latter-day Saints with Facebook pages, and widely used in other ways, as well.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

For some reason, I thought the other day of a piece by the late Merrill Bradshaw<\/a> that I\u2019ve long loved and that I\u2019ve sung a couple of times, once in a ward choir and once, in a quartet, in Jerusalem. \u00a0It\u2019s been going through my mind ever since:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cO Lord, I would hear thy word,\u201d from The Restoration, by Merrill Bradshaw<\/a><\/p>\n
