Lee Udall Bennion: A Quiet Interview, Doris R. Dant Apr 1996

Lee Udall Bennion: A Quiet Interview, Doris R. Dant

BYU Studies

Typical of the way artist Lee Bennion interweaves her family life and her work are the setting and events of the morning of this interview. When I arrived at her Spring City, Utah, home on September 23, 1996, Lee was canning tomatoes from her garden. She seated me at her dining room table for the interview, but her husband, Joe, came in to eat, and Adah, her youngest daughter, asked to have her hair braided.

On Being Mormon In Canada And Canadian In Utah, Maureen Ursenbach Beecher

BYU Studies

Peter Gzowski, a name unpronouncable to Americans, is a byword to Canadians. Weekday mornings, CBC radio listeners hear his wry comments and sage interviews reflecting Canadian life on Morningside. In the mid-seventies, when Morningside was still This Country in the Morning, Gzowski ran a contest asking listeners to finish this sentence: "As Canadian as..." Entries poured in: "As Canadian as a toboggan" or "As Canadian as Diefenbaker." But the grand-slam winner was unforgettable: "As Canadian as possible, under the circumstances."

Lds Counselor Ratings Of Problems Occurring Among Lds Premarital And Remarital Couples, Travis R. Adams

A fundamental purpose of this study was to provide marriage preparation providers with counselors perceptions of potential marital problem areas.

Nature Among The Mormons: An Ecocritical Approach To Mormon Literature, Gail D. Ballard Jan 1996

Nature Among The Mormons: An Ecocritical Approach To Mormon Literature, Gail D. Ballard

Theses and Dissertations

Increasingly, environmentalists have focused on Judeo-Christian tradition as the cause of Western culture's ecological crisis. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the charges against Judeo-Christian tradition and to show how the revealed doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints provide possible solutions to environmental challenges. The resulting Latter-day Saint environmental paradigm will be superimposed on selected Mormon literature to determine how effectively the doctrines taught by Church authorities filtered into popular Mormon culture.

Despite the inspired teachings of Latter-day Saint prophets, Mormons remain unimpressive in their environmental practices. My research will show that while …
