At least then the Utah Mormons moving out here for work wouldn't be so shocked to find that the "mission field" is just like their ward back home.

One thing I liked about my mission is that we never had priesthood or sunday school. Just 1 hr sacrament mtg.
That might bump up attendance as well if implemented in the US. |

I wouldn't mind if Sunday School became more of a study group mentality with bishopric members schooled in oversight. Current Sunday School is beneficial for new members, but unless you have a Pelagius type approach is not that beneficial for the average long term member.

Did you mean to say, "Take care of the needs of upscale retailers so that Coach may have an outlet in downtown Salt Lake City"?

Adam, there is a reason the New Jerusalem will be moved from Utah to Missouri.
Zion cannot exist in Utah. The Lord knows this. Is there anything more Christian (and put whatever sort of meaning you want on this word) about Utah than anyplace else? |

Forced charity creates resentment in the giver. Maybe people just feel like the government takes enough of their money that they should be doing something productive with it. Your decision to hold the church responsible because it asks members to pay tithes and fast offerings strikes me as rather irrational. |
