MNRU Poll of the week (available only on Anchor) Is the word “Mormon” a major victory for Satan? Fetch no! The thousands of people who joined the Church after viewing the expensive, worldwide, and Church Sponsored ‘I am a Mormon campaign' prove it. Absolutely! As Elder David Bednar recently remarked at the National Press Club luncheon, we can't let this pejorative of our enemies define our faith. I doubt it. Remember, the prophet Joseph Smith said the word Mormon means ‘more good.' No way! President Thomas Monson was proud to be a Mormon boy, and I am proud to support the MormoNewsRoundup! You bet! and in order to thwart Satan, we need to immediately change the official name of the ‘Book of Mormon' to the ‘Book of Moroni's Dad' Yes. The word ‘Mormon' is basically the same as the ‘N word.' With all the suffering in the world, what difference does it make?

For more than a dozen years, Devery Anderson, a white Latter-day Saint studying history at the University of Utah, was obsessed with the 1955 killing of a 14-year-old Black youth, Emmett Till. Anderson's quest for details culminated in 2015, with publication of his book-length exploration, “Emmett Till: The Murder That Shocked the World and Propelled the Civil Rights Movement.” Now, nearly seven years later, Anderson's book is the basis of a new miniseries, titled “Women of the Movement,” airing this month on ABC. Anderson, who consulted on the show, is deeply aware of his own faith's past involvement in a racist policy denying Black males ordination to the priesthood and Black females access to temple ceremonies. That practice ended in 1978, but racism in the church remains a problem to this day. On this week's podcast, Anderson talks about his groundbreaking work on the Till biography and his church's racial history.
Devery S. Anderson, marketing director for Signature Books and author of the book "Emmett Till: The Murder That Shocked the World and Propelled the Civil Rights Movement" , has a conversation with your host Steven Pynakker. The book is the primary basis for the ABC miniseries "Women of the Movement" debuting on January 6th. In the episode we discuss Devery being raised as Baptist and then he and his family converting to the LDS Church. As he began researching the Black priesthood ban, he encountered the story of the murder of Emmett Till. This began an almost 20 year journey which included befriending Emmett's mother, conducting extensive research into the trial and surrounding events, and finally getting his work published and it being optioned in Hollywood. We also get a preview of some upcoming titles that Signature Book will soon be releasing.Link to Purchase BookLink to watch on ABCLink to our Patreon Page

Latter-day Saint temples have been in the news a lot lately. New temples are opening. Some older ones are closing for renovation. And groundbreakings are taking place around the globe. Capturing the most attention were the recent changes that brought more gender equity to the religious rites that take place inside these temples. So how has temple worship evolved throughout the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? Historian and author Devery Anderson, who edited the volume, “The Development of LDS Temple Worship," shares his insights.

On this episode, Joseph Smith introduces the endowment ceremony and forms the Quorum of the Anointed, or the Holy Order. Jo had been practicing esoteric rites from his earliest days in Kirtland, but this was the codification of the ceremony which would come to be practiced in every Mormon temple after Smith’s death. We read through one of the earliest available exposes created to reveal the terrifying theocratic rituals embodied by Jo and the elite Mormons who went through this occult initiation.

Something wonderful with long-lasting effect on Mormonism began in 1966 with the publication of the inaugural issue of Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought. Beginning as a dream brought into reality by five friends at Stanford University, Dialogue went on to become in the days before the Internet “the” go-to source for the best thinking on Mormonism, especially for LDS students and intellectuals who wanted so much to bring their scholarship into conversation with their faith. During its storied career, Dialogue has published many pivotal articles that have helped shape Mormonism, along with providing an early outlet for great writing and art of all sorts, including personal essays, sermons, fiction, poetry, drama, and celebrations of the visual arts. In this episode, the first of two parts, one of Dialogue’s founders, Frances Lee Menlove, an early Dialogue editor, Robert Rees, and the author of an award-winning series of histories of the journal, Devery Anderson, join Mormon Matters host Dan Wotherspoon to explore Dialogue’s history and impact, its aspirations and how they have and have not been met, some of the key moments in its history and wrestles it faced, as well as assessments of its importance within the LDS community. Dialogue is, in many ways, the foundation upon which today’s podcasting and flourishing online discussions about Mormonism are built. It’s history is compelling, with many ups and downs involving the interplay between church leaders and the journal’s decision makers, as well as its finances and reputation. Ultimately, it is a triumphant story--one we are pleased to begin to share with you in this episode. Following this episode, we will focus in Part 2 on Dialogue’s present and future.
Nikolai DiPippa, Clinton School Director of Public Programs, sat down with Devery Anderson, author of “Emmett Till: The Murder That Shocked the World and Propelled the Civil Rights Movement,” which offers a comprehensive account of the 1955 murder of Emmett Till and its aftermath, while also telling the story of the 14 year-old African American boy from Chicago.
In the LDS temple recommend interview, Question 7 reads: "Do you support, affiliate with, or agree with any group or individual whose teachings or practices are contrary to or oppose those accepted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?" This question came into public consciousness this past week when, in the wake of the midterm elections, an LDS bishop from southern California celebrated on his blog the rise of a new Republican majority in the U.S. Senate, which also meant the demotion of LDS senator Harry Reid from his position as majority leader. In his exultation, this bishop suggested that Reid is "not a man of serious religious faith," for if he were, as a Mormon he’d not be able to be a leader in a political party that had in its platform support for the ERA, a woman’s right to choose whether or not to continue a pregnancy, and same-sex marriage--all stances this bishop feels are out of alignment with core Mormon teachings and values. For these reasons, this bishop suggested he’d disqualify Reid from receiving a temple recommend based upon Question 7. LDS Public Affairs was quick to suggest that in writing what he did, this bishop was in error. Spokesperson Dale Jones: "Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are, of course, entitled to express their own political opinions. However, publishing such views while using a title of a church officer, even if only as a leader of a local congregation as in this case, is entirely inappropriate." In this episode, Claudia Bushman, Jeralee Renshaw, and Devery Anderson join Mormon Matters host Dan Wotherspoon for a discussion of Question 7. What do we know of its origins and the intent behind it? Should it be applied to specific things such as one’s political opinions or support for various governmental policies? In their own lives, how do they as panelists approach Question 7--and, even more so, the temple recommend process as a whole? How disclosing are they about the various nuances of their own beliefs and practice? Do they believe the intent of temple recommend interviews is "worthiness," or might there be better framings for what this process is all about?
