This document discusses the history of media coverage of Mormonism from the 19th century to present day. It provides examples of interactions between Mormon leaders like Brigham Young and journalists like Horace Greeley. It also summarizes several news articles about key events and issues involving the Mormon church such as the 1978 lifting of the priesthood ban for black members, opposition to MX missile deployment in Utah/Nevada, and the church's approach to media coverage during the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics.What do Nondenominational Churches Believe?

Marriage is central to the Mormon faith and viewed as essential for exaltation. Mormons believe marriage must occur through the proper authority of the church to be valid eternally. Premarital sex is strictly prohibited, and Mormons have more conservative views of sexuality than other faiths. Studies show Mormons are less likely to engage in premarital sex or divorce, and more likely to marry and remarry, than other religious groups. Gender roles in Mormon marriages are also traditionally conservative.The Problem With Thomas Murphy - By Geoffrey Biddulph

The article uses a parable about a chess club to illustrate the actions of Thomas Murphy, a former Mormon who is now publicly criticizing the LDS Church. In the parable, one member wants the club to play checkers instead of chess, and tries to convince others to switch, even after most vote to keep playing chess. Similarly, Murphy no longer believes in the LDS Church but wants to publicly oppose its teachings, like anti-Mormon writers. The article argues Murphy is not truly interested in checkers/criticism, but in getting others to stop playing chess/believing in the Church. It says the Church must stand for certain doctrines like Joseph Smith's prophethood, and those who openly rejectChristian's Powerpoint

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as Mormons, believes that Joseph Smith restored the true gospel of Jesus Christ in the 1800s. Members of the church strive to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and share their faith through missionary work and temple ordinances like baptisms for deceased ancestors. The Book of Mormon complements the Bible as a sacred text, and members seek to strengthen their families through temple sealings.Why People Leave the LDS ( Mormon ) Church, and How We Can Help

Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park, have a fascination with Mormons despite not being Mormon themselves. They grew up around Mormon culture and find aspects of it interesting to parody, such as stereotypes about Mormon missionaries and families. The Mormon Church is aware of the parody of their religion in South Park and The Book of Mormon musical, but chooses not to take offense or censor the works, believing in freedom of speech. The author, a Mormon, is also not offended and sees the attention on Mormonism from Parker and Stone as ultimately a good thing.Winter2010

Mormon Church Service
The Mormon Church is properly known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This church can be said to have originated from western New York as its founder Joseph Smith was born and brought up there. The church started in the late 1820s when Joseph Smith attracted some followers as he was reading and translating the Book of Mormon. He initially called it the Church of Christ and later in 1838 through a revelation he renamed it the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and it has been referred that way to-date
. However, the church is often called Mormon as its followers believe in the Book of Mormon as the word of God (Arrington, 1979).
The Mormon worship services are divided geographically into branches and wards. A branch cannot hold more than 200 members while as a ward can hold 100 members
. I intend to observe the Mormon Sunday service at the Washington ward on 13 April, 2013. I plan to call on time to find out when the service begins and also to arrange for interviews with prominent people in the church before and even after the service to establish more about their faith and beliefs
.
Typically, Mormons meet on Sundays in a chapel for three
one-hour meetings: the sacrament; Sunday Schools and church auxiliary meetings. The Sacrament meeting is the main meeting. During this meeting, members of the church sit together as families so as to participate in the sacrament as well as receive sermons from their leaders and fellow Mormons.
The Mormons are expected to dress well during the Mormon worship service. Women are expected to wear dresses or skirts whereas men usually wear dress denims and dress shirts, normally with a tie. Anyone can attend this service even if one does not share their faith. The Sacrament Meeting starts with songs and prayers. Members of this church receive a sacramental communion that includes bread and water during the service. The sacramental communion serves as a remembrance of the Last Supper. Non-members are not supposed to take the communion; they are supposed to pass it along to the next person. After the communion, two to three talks are given by members of the congregation
. Interesting this church does not pass a plate or ask for contributions during the service
. After the Sacrament meeting, visitors are at liberty to leave or if they wish attend the other two meetings (Givens, 2004).
The Second meeting involves holding Sunday school classes that are grouped according to age. There are usually introductory classes arranged for visitors. Adult Sunday school classes mostly involve learning about the church doctrines and principles. Youth Sunday classes are designed to cater for the needs of the youth (Arrington, 1979).
The third meeting includes priesthood meetings, relief society and young women meetings. Men and boys more than 12 years old attend priesthood classes
