MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
The year 2012 continues with the presidential election putting Mormonism front and center in the press. But instead of a long president’s message this month, I’m going to make a simple plea: Please join the mailing list for our newest venture MormonVoices.org.
As news articles are posted about Mormonism, we find people of varying beliefs commenting online. There are some who remain glued to the news media waiting for the opportunity to make a negative comment about the Church. At times, this has led to a very one-sided, negative series of comments.
What MormonVoices tries to do is point out important news articles where it would be helpful to have members of the Church make a positive comment about their experiences as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We have already had many positive experiences with this, but we need more help. We need you to stand up and be counted as a Latter-day Saint. We need you to sign up.
So if you are willing to be online and to post in the comments sections of major newspapers, please go to http://mormonvoices.org/signup/ and sign up. We are going to ask you questions about who you are, but that information is only so we know you better and can better gauge the effectiveness of our program. Personal information will not be shared. Please sign up now.
Additionally, we ask you to invite your friends, relatives, Facebook friends, Google+ circle, and ward members to join MormonVoices and become a volunteer.
Please help us to make a difference. Join now.
–Scott Gordon President of FAIR

AWARD WINNING FAIR PODCASTS SPECIAL TOPIC
This month, the award-winning FAIR podcast continues its series of interviews relating to various aspects of homosexuality and the LDS Church. These insightful and poignant interviews are worth listening to.
FAIR Examination 5a: Marriage to a man with same-sex attraction–Joshua and Alyssa Johanson
by SteveDensleyJr on December 29th, 2011
How does a man with same-sex attraction find the only woman in the world to whom he is attracted? In this interview, Joshua Johanson talks about his history with same-sex attraction, his experience as a BYU student and as a member of a singles ward, and introduces us to his wife, Alyssa Johanson. Alyssa shares her insights into being married to a man with same sex-attraction. Joshua and Alyssa also discuss the things that have helped make their marriage successful. As they do so, it becomes clear that their relationship is not all that different from anyone else’s.
They also discuss Proposition 8, Elder Packer’s October 2010 General Conference address, as well as the following questions:
- Does the Church recommend marriage as a therapeutic measure for someone experiencing same-sex attraction?
- What is wrong with homosexual activity (kissing, etc.) that stops short of intercourse?
- If gays can marry, why would sex in that relationship be a violation of the law of chastity?
- Did Jesus speak out against homosexuality?
- How can the Church uphold its standards while still extending love to those who experience same-sex attraction?

by SteveDensleyJr on January 4th, 2012
Blake Smith is a member of the Church who has a history with same sex attraction. In this interview he shares how he reconciled his sexual attractions to men with the gospel of Jesus Christ and how the law of chastity has brought him peace. He begins talking about his unsuccessful attempts at aversion therapy and subsequent failed marriage. He then shares why he decided to stay in the church and what helped him. He talks about the love and encouragement he received from his ecclesiastical leaders and from a support group called North Star. He tells his story of finding true love to the woman of his dreams and of finally overcoming same-sex attraction.
FAIR Examination 6: Overcoming same-sex attraction–Blake Smith
FAIR Examination 7: Therapy and same-sex attraction-David Matheson
by SteveDensleyJr on January 11th, 2012
David Matheson is a licensed professional counselor at the Center for Gender Wholeness in Salt Lake City, Utah. His practice focuses on helping people with unwanted same-sex attraction. David received his Masters of Science degree in Counseling and Guidance from Brigham Young University in 1996. Afterwards, he practiced for seven years as a psychological assistant under Dr. Joseph Nicolosi. During his tenure, he co-created the “Journey into Manhood” experiential weekend with Ben Newman and began serving on the board of directors of People Can Change.
He is an active member of the Church and shares how the gospel of Jesus Christ has influenced his desire to serve men with same-sex attraction. He talks about some modern approaches and how these approaches fit within the stances of major medical institutions and the relationship with the Church. He shares stories of success as well as some potential for harm associated with therapy. He clarifies some common misconceptions around therapy and the need to make this therapy available for those seeking it. He talks about how family, friends and leaders can help people with same-sex attraction and how that fits in with their duty to bear one another’s burdens.

“FAIR Conversations,” Episode 14: Tom Mould on Folklore and Personal Revelation
by bhodges on January 24th, 2012
Perhaps the most underrated Mormon-themed book of 2011 was Tom Mould’s “Still, the Small Voice: Narrative, Personal Revelation, and the Mormon Folk Tradition.” As the title suggests, Mould explores how the Spirit’s “small voice” is still an important part of religious life for Latter-day Saints. The book is a folklorist’s examination of the stories Mormons share about personal revelation.
In this episode of FAIR Conversations, Mould describes some ways revelatory narratives highlight distinctive Mormon beliefs such as stewardship and agency. He highlights the role revelation plays in Mormon decision making, in relieving anxiety, and in dealing with the ambiguities of everyday life. The stories Mormons tell about the revelation we seek and receive suggest important clues about our values. Mould’s work is thought provoking, challenging, and inspiring, religiously and academically. He brings the perspective of a thoughtful outsider but speaks with an insider’s knowledge.
Mould is associate professor of anthropology and folklore at Elon University in North Carolina.

Making Sense of the Doctrine and Covenants (Limited to stock on hand.)
Steven C. Harper. Salt Lake City, Utah: Deseret Book, 2008. Hardbound, 9″x6″, 624 pgs. ISBN: 1590389212
Have you struggled with understanding the Doctrine and Covenants? As a collection of separate and diverse texts, it can be rather daunting to study. After all, it is the only one of the standard works that does not tell its own story.
Making Sense of the Doctrine and Covenants addresses this challenge in a unique way. Rather than giving a verse-by-verse commentary, author Steven C. Harper takes readers on a guided tour through the revelations. Drawing on the earliest manuscripts of those revelations, he provides historically grounded insights into why each revelation was given, what it means, and why it matters.
Chapters on every section of the Doctrine and Covenants begin by delving into the historical record to recreate the question or problem each revelation was given to resolve and end by showing readers the outcomes for individuals and the Church.

Charles Ora Card’s diaries are a rich historical resource chronicling an important period of Mormon history that historian Thomas G. Alexander called “Mormonism in Transition.” The diaries detail the pioneers’ attempt to make the desert blossom as a rose, including their work on the Logan Temple and Tabernacle.
During this era, the Church faced increasing economical and federal legislative pressures. The records accent the everyday struggles of a people; their leadership, both local and Churchwide; and Card’s own capture by U.S. marshals.

Tree of Life, From Eden to Eternity
John W. Welch and Donald W. Parry. Provo, Utah: Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship, Brigham Young University, 2011. Hardcover, 6.25×9.25″, 280 pages.
No image of eternal life is more powerful or persistent than the tree of life. From the paradisiacal Garden of Eden to the apocalyptic New Jerusalem, the tree of life dominates the landscape, being mentioned explicitly more than two dozen times in the Latter-day Saint scriptural canon and alluded to many other times therein. From the temple to the cross, the symbol of the tree of life invites all to come unto Christ, to become planted by rivers of living water, and to bring forth and enjoy the fruits of God’s love that are sweet above all else. This highly informative and beautifully illustrated book contains original essays by leading Latter-day Saint scholars and scholars of other faiths–including Donald W. Parry, Daniel C. Peterson, Andrew C. Skinner, John W. Welch, and Margaret Barker–that focus on the tree of life symbol in the Bible, early Christianity, and the Book of Mormon, as well as in Southeast Asian, Islamic, and Maya temples, cultures, and art.
