Marvin Perkins, an important member of the church's Genesis Group and a friend of the blog, contacted us about the following missionary opportunities. Help us spread the word to interested parties.
Mormon Beliefs Explained at Washington D.C. Temple Visitors’ Center Exhibit (link)
What do Mormons believe? Are they Christian? How do they worship? Those are a sampling of questions answered by a new exhibit in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ visitors’ center in Washington, D.C. The exhibit, entitled “We Follow Jesus Christ,” will be on display at the visitors’ center through the end of August. It provides answers to 24 questions about the Church that seem to have captured most people’s interest.

Take a Survey on Race Relations Within the LDS Church (link to survey)
From the author: I am wondering if you could help with this initiative. I am working on a study to see just how members of the church feel about race in the church. So far I have over 1000 completed instruments but very few Black members of church have participated which is skewing the data. Could you please help me by taking the survey yourself then disseminating the instrument to other members? In order for the project to be successful I really need participation from a larger number of people of African descent, no matter where they are in the world. The church, due to the campaign of Romney, will be attacked for the Church's past views and this information will provide a voice with some strong research on the matter.
