Eugene England

The Eugene England Foundation is committed to honoring the life and work of a remarkably influential teacher, activist, and writer. A tireless advocate of what he called “great books and true religion,” England (1933-2001) co-founded Dialogue, the first independent Mormon scholarly journal, championed Mormon literature, and helped launch the first Mormon studies program. His personal essays explored belief, peace, poverty, race, gender, academic freedom and community. England’s life and work reveal a faithful scholar and loyal critic who followed the admonition of Apostle Paul: “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.”
