Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Mormon is a term used to describe the adherents, practitioners, followers or constituents of certain denominations within the Latter Day Saint movement. The term most often refers to a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), which is commonly called the Mormon Church. The LDS Church claims that "Mormon" should properly be applied only to its members, to avoid possible confusion with Mormon fundamentalist groups which practice plural marriage. However, the term is nevertheless used to refer to many other sects that recognize Brigham Young as a prophet, including Mormon fundamentalists. The term is not usually applied to other sects within the Latter Day Saint movement, such as the Community of Christ, who did not associate with Brigham Young after the death of Joseph Smith, Jr., the founder of the movement.

The term originated from the Book of Mormon, first published in 1830 by Joseph Smith, Jr. According to the Book of Mormon, Mormon is the name of an indigenous American prophet–historian who compiled the majority of the book.

The term "Mormon" is taken from the title of the Book of Mormon, a sacred text adherents believe to have been translated from golden plates discovered by Joseph Smith, Jr. and published in 1830. According to the text of the Book of Mormon, Mormon was the name of a fourth century prophet–historian who compiled and abridged many records of his ancestors into the Book of Mormon. The book is believed by Mormons to be a literal record of God's dealings with pre-Columbian civilizations in the Americas from approximately 2600 BC through AD 420, written by prophets and followers of Jesus Christ. The book records the teachings of Jesus Christ to the people in the Americas as well as Christ's personal ministry among the people of Nephi after his resurrection.[1] Mormons believe the Book of Mormon is another witness of Jesus Christ, "holy scripture comparable to the Bible".[2]

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, one of the earliest published usages of the term "Mormon" to describe believers in the Book of Mormon was in 1833 by the Louisville (Kentucky) Daily Herald in an article, "The Mormons and the Anti-Mormons".[3]

He’d been visiting his brother in Tucson, Ariz. when a friend called to tell him he’d been burgled.

11. Apartments in Salt Lake City: Three Things to Know Before You Move
July 03, 2008

Utah is Dry...In More Ways Than One Utah is a classified desert, and I'm not referring just to the precipitation amounts. Because of a predominantly LDS (Mormon) population which doesn't drink alcohol, many apartments have strict rules against not just the consumption of it, but even the storage of it on the premises. This holds true especially in college towns like Provo and Logan. Not to say that all complexes forbid you to have a single drop of liquor in your kitchen, but because these rules appeal to the LDS population, many managers enforce these rules to help fill units.

February 20, 2008

You don't have to be gay to understand the frustration committed same-sex partners have with not being able to be recognized as a legal couple through marriage. As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for. You might get it. First, in legal terms, marriage is an unconscionable contract. Over 50% now end in divorce. The split up rate for gay and lesbian partners is even higher. If less than half work out, why do we need marriage at all? The marriage contract is a three-party contract - husband, wife, and state. The state holds all the cards. The state determines who can... (read more)

21. Why Religion Didn't Work For Me
April 02, 2007

When I was 8 years old, my parents decided to join the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (That's the Mormon church to the uninitiated). Of course I remember very little of being that young, let alone joining the church, but it happened nonetheless. How an eight year old can supposedly make a decision like that is beyond me, but that's really neither here nor there. The point was that I was now a Mormon, and that's the way I grew up. I went to church, or should I say was forced to go to church, for the entire time I lived at home. Then, as soon as I moved out when I was 18, I didn... (read more)

22. A Mormon Missionary in São Paulo, Brazil
March 25, 2007

I recently visited Diadema, a suburb of São Paulo. I'd heard of places like Diadema--fellow missionaries are always willing to talk--but I'd never believed people lived that way, that people could live that way. The roads were unpaved, symbols of poverty. There were no trees, no grass, only dirt and unpainted brick. Diadema was the play city I used to build in the mud for my toy soldiers, only the houses were not pretend. The people were not toys. The tiny dwellings were completely unorganized. One stood at street level and another right below it, accessible by a steep, tree-house stairca... (read more)

February 23, 2007

Ephedra, or Ma Huang The best known ma huang comes from the stems of the Chinese ephedra bush, Ephedra sinica, although some may be derived from E. equisetum species; similar plants are used in India and in the Near East.
