About
This is my collection of links to news about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and its members, doctrines, influences and quirks.
Articles are sorted by date of publication (and optionally by category).
Selection is biased. Instead of linking to every news item out there, I aim to include just the most interesting articles in the major press. I usually don't link to articles published by LDS and Utah institutions.

Just before the end of February, something “truly exceptional” pops up in the Salt Lake Tribune, causing me to come out of hiatus. The article begins with this lovely sentence.
LDS music is more than the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Janice Kapp Perry and Jon Schmidt.
So true! I’ve never heard of that last guy, but based on the context I have a feeling I don’t like his music. The context, in this case, is an article about a new collection of piano music called Mormoniana. (Emphasis on the 2nd syllable, pronounced with a closed O, as in ‘know.’)
This music, from many different LDS composers inspired by many different LDS visual artists, is high art, so it may not always be easy to listen to, but I have owned it and valued it for several months now, and am glad to see it get more coverage. It is one of too-few things that are good, musical and of current Mormon origin.
