The September Six and the Soul of Modern Mormonism
In my estimation, Sara M. Patterson's The September Six and the Struggle for the Soul of Mormonism will be regarded as one of the most important works of Latter-day Saint/Mormon scholarship of the twenty-first century. It will be so, I believe, not only because it is a masterful work of scholarship but because it bridges the development of this uniquely American religion from the turbulent twentieth century, when Mormonism emerged from its pionee…
Black Mormons and the Priesthood
Typical of far too many youths of my generation, I grew up in a racist home, a racist community, and in racist Latter-day Saint congregations. As a young man, I harbored deep racist sentiments and attitudes toward Black people (as well as other racial minorities).1 I thought of that childhood recently when a friend sent me a copy of a letter from the First Presidency dated November 4, 1949, written in response to a letter from a convert to the Ch…
Truth and Reconciliation

Portrait of a (Latter-day) Saint
I miss Gene England! I have especially missed his voice these past twenty years. So many times, I have wondered, “What would Gene have said about . . . ” as we have stumbled and bungled into the twenty-first century. I have missed hearing his voice on the other end of the line, missed seeing his emails in my inbox, missed just talking with him about his latest passion or “the solemnities of eternity.” What a beautiful thing we believe, as Joseph …
