Oral History Of The Emergence Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints In The Republic Of Slovenia, Bethany Durham, Dr. Blair Holmes Jan 2014

Oral History Of The Emergence Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints In The Republic Of Slovenia, Bethany Durham, Dr. Blair Holmes

Journal of Undergraduate Research

I never thought it was significant that I belonged to a ward with several hundred active members to meet with. Members of the church in the Republic of Slovenia, however, have a much different experience. The purpose of my project was to document the unique experiences of the pioneer members of the LDS Church in the Republic of Slovenia.

I'Ve Seen The Promised Land: A Letter To Amelia Boynton Robinson, Mauricio E. Novoa

SURGE

You asked if I had any thoughts or comments at the end of our visit, and I stood and said nothing. I opened my mouth, but instead of giving you words my throat was sealed by a dam of speechlessness while my eyes wept out all the emotions and heartache that I wanted to share with you. The others in my group were able to express their admiration, so I wanted to do the same. [excerpt]

Arkansas was very diversified and so were the women. When Union soldiers occupied the state they interacted with the women in many different ways, from pleasant social activities to barbaric terrorism. When Confederates occupied regions of the state, they also met a variety of women and had just as varied …


Manhood And Football, Richard C. Crepeau Jan 2014

Manhood And Football, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

ESPN, the Worldwide Breeder of ludicrous sports programming, reached a new low this week. The Network that brought you the biggest non-event on the annual sports calendar, the NFL draft, and then took it down another notch by televising the announcement of the NFL schedule, outdid itself once again by having a countdown to the unveiling of Mel Kiper’s mock draft.
