A Study Of Literature On Role-Playing With Possible Applications To The Lds Institutes Of Religion, Victor Vernon Woolf
A Study Of Literature On Role-Playing With Possible Applications To The Lds Institutes Of Religion, Victor Vernon Woolf
Theses and Dissertations
Recent studies have indicated that although the Institutes of Religion of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are generally successful in reaching their objectives, they have much to profit from adaptation of new teaching techniques. At the same time, some group teaching techniques have undergone a great deal of experimentation and refinement in the last decade. No one, however, has undertaken to correlate or adapt the literature available with the needs of the Institutes of Religion.

History Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints In Ireland Since 1840, Brent A. Barlow
History Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints In Ireland Since 1840, Brent A. Barlow
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis pertains to the efforts of the Mormons in establishing their Church among the Irish and is arranged to give a chronological account of activities there. A brief background of the establishment of Christianity in Ireland and a knowledge of numerous conflicts between Catholics and Protestants helps to understand the complex religious interaction occurring at the time Mormonism was introduced in that country. The difficulties encountered by the first Mormon missionaries in Ireland suggest reasons why the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints did not expand as rapidly as it did elsewhere in Britain and other European countries. …

Socio-Political Factors Affecting The Growth Of The Mormon Church In Argentina Since 1925, Michael B. Smurthwaite
Socio-Political Factors Affecting The Growth Of The Mormon Church In Argentina Since 1925, Michael B. Smurthwaite
Theses and Dissertations
Since 1925 Mormon missionaries have proselyted in Catholic Argentina. Yet the Argentine mission has grown very slowly and encountered many difficulties. Did the missionaries' North American image affect the missionary work? Did the predominance of the Catholic Church stunt the growth of the new sect? How did the impact of bitter U.S.-Argentine international relations during the Second World War, and the advent of Peron affect the reception of Mormonism in Argentina?
These questions concerning the history of the Mormon Church in Argentina since 1940 can best be understood by considering the episodes of Argentine history which bear directly on the …

The Relationship Of Church Activity Of Parents Of Lds Seminary Students To The Attendance Of Seminary Students At Church, Ronald D. Firth
Theses and Dissertations
It has been observed that not all L.D.S. Seminary students are active in church attendance. There is little doubt in the minds of educators that parents affect a great deal the activities of their children.

Based on his experience in the church, the writer chose the following areas of …
The Elections Of 1900 In Utah, R. Gary Penrod
The Elections Of 1900 In Utah, R. Gary Penrod
Theses and Dissertations
The 1900 elections have been little touched in historical studies of Utah. However 1900 was a year of special interest and deserves an examination. In that year a Special Election was held, all state offices were up for renewal and a Presidential Election took place.
The special election was necessary because B. H. Roberts had been denied his seat in the United States Congress. Roberts was excluded because he was a polygamist. The Roberts case threatened to revive gentile versus Mormon antipathies in Utah. However, the most puzzling aspect of the 1900 elections is connected with the presidential vote. In …
