February 16
Integrating Freemasonry into your Concept of Mormon History with Cheryl L. Bruno and Dr. Nicholas S. Literski Your concept of Mormon history depends so much upon what facts you have at your disposal and which narratives you have heard. Freemasonry has likely been on the periphery of your experience with Mormonism. Authors Cheryl Bruno and Dr. Nick Literski will provide information, facts, stories, and legends about Freemasonry and the beginnings of Mormonism that will expand your understanding of how and why this esoteric organization became part of the Mormon restoration.

February 23
The Story of Jane with Quincy D. Newell Jane Elizabeth Manning James was an early African American convert to Mormonism, joining Joseph Smith's movement in the early 1840s and sticking with it until her death in 1908. Scholar Quincy D. Newell, author of the only book-length biography of James, will tell stories about this remarkable woman's life and discuss how including her experience might change the way we think about African American history, the history of Mormon traditions, American women's history, and the history of the American West. Join us for the discussion on Thursday, February 23 @ 7:00 p.m. (Central Time). Click the button below to view a recording of the February 23 program. |
