On the one-year anniversary of Chieko Okazaki's passing

Dialogue is pleased to present Gregory Prince’s beautiful interview with Sister Chieko Okazaki from the Spring 2012 issue in noting the one-year anniversary of her passing this week.
In it, she explains: “Now your question, in relation to women, I think that women feel that they need to know every law and every principle of the gospel, and have to live it, so that they can be more perfect. They’re hard on themselves because they’re not already perfect. Whenever I speak, I try to share this principle with them: “I’m not perfect, but I try to live the principle as best I can.When I see that I can improve, I try to do that.”
And for other tributes to Sister Okazaki, see this recent blog compilation at Things of My Soul, wherein Ray includes a touching post by Dialogue Editor Kristine Haglund’s uncle Bruce Haglund on “Remembering Chieko Okazaki.

Kevin Barney reflects on being a blogger

Longtime Dialogue friend and board of directors member Kevin Barney provides his “Reflections of a Blogger” after 6.5 years and 402 posts on By Common Consent.
He explains his writing history, including how “While I was in law school I published my first real scholarly article, on the Joseph Smith Translation in Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought. After I got an actual job as a practicing attorney, I stopped writing for several years, until one night my wife basically kicked me in the butt and told me to write something.

On Racism and the Mormon Church and Response

Early this week, scholar John Turner presented an opinion piece in the New York Times on “Why Race Is Still a Problem for Mormons.” Turner, who has a new biography out on Brigham Young, says “The church could begin leaving those problems behind if its leaders explained that their predecessors had confused their own racist views with God’s will and that the priesthood ban resulted from human error and limitations rather than a divine curse. Given the church’s ecclesiology, this step would be difficult. Mormons have no reason to feel unusually ashamed of their church’s past racial restrictions, except maybe for their duration. Their church, like most other white American churches, was entangled in a deeply entrenched national sin. Still, acknowledging serious errors on the part of past prophets inevitably raises questions about the revelatory authority of contemporary leaders….

Samuel Brown says that in "Mormonism's Abandoned Race Policy: Context Matters"

In a blog post for the Huffington Post, Samuel Brown offers up three points that he explains often, and most recently by John G. Turner in a New York Times piece “are commonly misunderstood.” Brown explains
“First, some Mormons are racist.
Second, some Mormons are not racist.
Third, whether Mormon church leaders should issue an institutional apology for the prior policy of racial exclusion is about more than just racism.”

In Memoriam: Richard H. Cracroft

Dialogue author and former Associate Editor Richard H. Cracroft passed away last week and in honor of his life, we bring back his classic review of President Spencer W. Kimball’s The Miracle of Forgiveness wherein he says “Throughout, however, Elder Kimball’s message is clear: he, like the Lord, will not tolerate the sin, but he will love the sinner. This gentle but authoritative tone becomes a pattern in his correspondence (from which he quotes frequently), a pattern of practical advice coupled with spirituality. President Kimball clearly feels comfortable in blending the short and the long range to achieve happiness in human relationships.” Click in his full observations.

Pragmatism and Progress: An Overview of LDS Sister Missionary Service in the Twentieth Century

Professor Andrea Radke-Moss provides a fascinating overview of sister missionary service in the history of the church over at Juvenile Instructor, which proves to spotlight why Saturday’s announcement was truly revolutionary:

“President Thomas S. Monson’s announcement in General Conference on Saturday, October 6, 2012, that young women can now serve missions at age 19 is no less than revolutionary. This move might seem like a pragmatic attempt to boost global missionary efforts. However, a brief historical overview of the last century’s changes for sister missionaries provides some useful context for how remarkable this policy really is.

Winter 2012 Issue

By Brian ChristensenFor those with premium access, the Winter 2012 issue is up and begins with two path-breaking articles—Stephen Taysom frames a discussion of the gold plates in terms of Robert Orsi’s theory of “abundant events,” and Walter Van Beek uses the history of the Dutch temple to ask important questions about how temples work within communities to create sacred space. There are also two wonderful personal essays—one lighthearted, one wrenching, both deeply thoughtful. The Fiction section offers stories from two of the best Mormon storytellers of their generations—Levi Peterson and Jack Harrell. Excellent new poetry, curated by new poetry editor Tyler Chadwick, and several informative and thought-provoking book reviews round out the issue. The issue concludes with a talk by Russell Hancock, on learning to pray on one’s feet as well as one’s knees—finding a way forward to spiritual growth and confidence even in the absence of unmistakable spiritual manifestations.

Grant Hardy on recent scriptural changes

After looking at “The King James Bible and the Future of Missionary Work” for Dialogue last summer, Grant Hardy now looks at the recent scriptural changes for Faith Promoting Rumor at Patheos, lamenting that accuracy has been unfortunately delayed in “The 2013 Adjustments to the Book of Mormon.

Here’s an excerpt:
“…So for the Book of Mormon, the 2013 adjustments are a holding pattern. I look forward to the day when the Church will return to trajectory set in 1981 of “bring[ing] the material into conformity with prepublication manuscripts and early editions edited by the Prophet Joseph Smith.” Perhaps in that future, more fully revised edition, we will also get indications of the original, longer chapter divisions (since the original manuscript suggests that those breaks were written on the Gold Plates, and hence were intended by Nephi, Mormon, and Moroni), and maybe even a return to paragraphs—the formatting of the Book of Mormon during Joseph Smith’s lifetime.”
