Alan B Collier is a 7th-8th generation Latter-day Saint who grew up in Western North Carolina as the fifth of ten children. He served a mission in Arizona and Mexico. Alan graduated BYU-Provo in Construction Management. In his career, Alan worked almost 20 years for one of the Intermountain West’s largest contractors and then equally as long as the owner of a general contracting firm. His first exposure to church construction began as a deacon listening to a brother talk about building the first branch meetinghouse in western NC. Alan has since been associated with hundreds of new builds, remodels, and maintenance projects for The Church across North America, including projects as large as the Conference Center and as simple as repairing a carpet run in a local meetinghouse. He has contracted with Church Meetinghouse Facilities, Special Projects, Seminaries, Welfare, Priesthood, as well as with private equity divisions of The Church. Alan also serves on a various non-profit boards, manager at several running events, and is vice president of his homeowner association. He was a chaplain for The Church at the 2010 and 2013 National Jamborees. Alan currently serves on the Mesa Temple Events Committee and in his spare time is a hiker, kayaker and cyclist.

Cynthia Collier grew up in Salt Lake City in a family that enjoyed the performing arts. She studied philosophy, English, and music at Brigham Young University, and has taught music and theater in schools. Over the past 25 years she has been involved in writing and directing live productions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including Savior of the World at the Conference Center Theater in Salt Lake City, and the Nauvoo and British pageants in Nauvoo, Illinois. She has served in the Church as a teacher, in various music callings, and in presidencies in wards and stakes. She most recently served with her husband as a branch minister at the University of Utah and Huntsman Hospitals in Salt Lake City. She is married to Eric Collier and is a mother and grandmother. The Pageants Celebrate a Great Legacy of Faith The pageants are filled with authentic hymns and folksongs, lively dances, and tender moments that share the joy these early Church members found in living Christ’s gospel. Through words taken from journals, sermons, and historic records of the period, the pageants invite all to feel the powerful testimonies of these faithful Christians. The Nauvoo Pageant is Narrated by Parley P. Pratt and emphasizes the prophetic mission of Joseph Smith and honors the sacrifice, faith and courage of the Saints who gave their all to build a city and a temple to their God. See a video Glimpse of the Nauvoo Pageant. The British Pageant is Narrated by a character named Arthur Ashton and it explores events surrounding the beginning of the Church in the British Isles and the impact of the British members’ abiding faith and deep love for one another and the Savior. See a video Glimpse of the British Pageant. The post Cynthia Collier – Nauvoo Visiting Performers – 938 appeared first on The Cultural Hall Podcast.

Similar to the Puebla/San Pedro Sula Plan, but 15k sq. ft. larger Very similar steeple to the Burley / Fairview (previous) designs Same size as original McKinney design only one story. Construction Updates Fairview Texas Temple April 24th – Revised Temple Application goes before planning commission and it passes with certain stipulations despite the mediated agreement Lower 120 ft steeple to 68 feet (same as meetinghouse) Change name from McKinney to Fairview Shut off lights from 11pm to 5am A design representative said the new application accepted the substantial burden of decreasing the height and size from 4 instruction rooms to 2 because of growing membership in the area.

The myth of a Christian America fuels a powerful political force sure of its moral superiority and intent on implementing a Christian nationalist agenda. Richard T. Hughes and Christina Littlefield draw on discussions of civil religion and forms of nationalism to explore the complex legal and cultural arguments for a Christian America. The authors also provide an in-depth examination of the Bible’s words on the “chosen nation” and “kingdom of God” that Christian nationalists quote to support the idea of the US as a Christian nation. A timely new edition of the acclaimed work, Christian America and the Kingdom of God spotlights how the centuries-long pursuit of a Christian America has bred an aggressive white Christian nationalism that twists faith, unleashes unchristian behavior, and threatens the nation. Buy The Book Dr. Christina Littlefield (PhD, Divinity Faculty at the University of Cambridge, England) is an associate professor with a dual appointment in religion and journalism at Pepperdine University. Her first book, Chosen Nations: Pursuit of the Kingdom of God and its Influence on Democratic Values in Late-Nineteenth Century Britain and the United States (Fortress, 2013) examines the good, bad and ugly in American and British civil religion at the peak of Protestant dominance in both countries. Her second book, Christian America and the Kingdom of God: White Christian Nationalism from the Puritans through January 6, 2021, forthcoming in 2024 from University of Illinois, updates the work of Richard T. Hughes to show how often Christians have behaved in unChristian ways in their pursuit of a Christian America. Specializing in church history, journalism history, sociology of religion and theology and ethics, Littlefield’s interdisciplinary work looks at the intersection of religion, politics, media and culture. Her current historical research focuses on the social gospel and muckraking era of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Littlefield’s former investigative work as a reporter for the Las Vegas Sun led to the indictment, conviction and jail time of a community college vice president who was using college materials, equipment and employees to build his ranch estate. Littlefield primarily covered higher education and religion during her four years at the Sun.   The post 909 Christian Nationalism I Dr. Christina Littlefield appeared first on The Cultural Hall Podcast.

Former Utah Congresswoman Mia Love’s Brain Cancer Is ‘No Longer Responding’ to Treatment, Daughter Says Love, 49, the first Black female Republican elected to Congress, was diagnosed with glioblastoma in 2022 Mia Love, the first Black Republican woman elected to Congress, is no longer responding to treatment for an aggressive and malignant brain tumor known as glioblastoma, with which she was diagnosed in 2022. But the prognosis recently took a different turn. Her daughter Abigale wrote in a March 1 post on Love’s account on X, “Many of you are aware that Mom has been fighting GBM brain cancer. Sadly her cancer is no longer responding to treatment and the cancer is progressing.” “We have a shifted our focus from treatment to enjoying our remaining time with her.

Blair Treu is a DGA director/producer with a global portfolio spanning feature films, TV, documentaries, and corporate projects. He’s worked with top talent, earning industry awards. His credits include Disney Channel films, “Chicken Soup for the Soul,” “Little Secrets,” “Power Rangers,” “Meet the Mormons” (a top-grossing documentary), and the Book of Mormon Series. His latest project is the documentary “Sharing Aloha,” set for release in 2025. This 95-minute feature documentary dives behind the scenes for a rare look into one of Hawaii’s most popular (and least understood) tourist stops… It’s a backstage, unscripted exploration of what it means for young Pacific Islanders to preserve and pass on the culture of their ancestors even as the winds of tourism in Hawai’i (both over-tourism, and the pushback against it) shift and change, potentially threatening the foundation upon which they stand — and dance, chant and (sometimes nail-bitingly) perform. It follows characters each standing at a crossroads: a young dancer struggling with his body image… another walking the razor-fine line between family obligations and performance expectations… a leader who shines onstage but is unsure of her place off it… and a star performer trying to prove to his parents that he’s not a failure after all. “Sharing Aloha” explores what it means to seek out your place in the world when one audition determines the role you’ll play in determining how — and if — you and your culture are seen at all.

Shall I Have Pleasure? An Answer for Sarah explores the complex relationship between faith, desire, and the pursuit of joy through a spiritual and philosophical lens. Drawing from religious narratives, scriptural analysis, and theological insights, the book delves into how pleasure is perceived within Christian traditions, particularly among members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Through reflective anecdotes, historical context, and doctrinal interpretations, the author challenges the tension between spiritual duty and sensory enjoyment, encouraging readers to reconcile divine purpose with the pursuit of happiness. Rooted in scripture and enriched by personal storytelling, this thought-provoking work invites readers to reconsider long-held beliefs about pleasure and self-denial. By examining biblical stories like Sarah’s incredulous laughter at the promise of joy in old age, as well as Christ’s compassionate acceptance of human love and generosity, the book offers a fresh perspective on living a life of spiritual fulfillment that embraces joy as an essential part of divine intent. Through this lens, Shall I Have Pleasure? becomes a call to rediscover pleasure as a God-given gift intertwined with human purpose and eternal potential. Zachary McLeod Hutchins is Professor of English at Colorado State University, where he teaches courses in early American literature and religion.

The founding and development of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints run parallel to the rise of the modern tax system and administrative state. Samuel D. Brunson looks at the relationships between the Church and various federal, state, local, and international tax regimes. The church and its members engage with the state as taxpayers and as members of a faith exempt from taxes. As Brunson shows, LDS members and the Church have at various times enacted, enforced, and collected taxes while also challenging taxes in the courts and politics. Brunson delves into the ways LDS members used their status as taxpayers to affirm themselves as citizens and how outsiders have attacked the Church’s tax-exempt status to delegitimize it. Throughout, Brunson uses the daily interactions between the Latter-day Saints and taxation to explain important and inevitable holes in the wall between church and state. Enlightening and informed, Between the Temple and the Tax Collector provides general readers and experts alike with a new perspective on a fundamental issue.
