News about Mormons, Mormonism,
and the LDS Church

Internet: Unique Resources on the Web

NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Some of the more interesting sites on the Internet are those built by individuals providing some unique resource -- often something that can't find elsewhere. Among the newly listed websites this week are a handful of such sites, including Reginald Dorff's Bible chronology, Latter-day Counsel and the LDS Euro Project.

The latter is by far the most impressive. Meant to compile historical information about the LDS Church in Europe, the site provides unique information that is simply not available elsewhere. Of course, the site is an unfinished project, and needs further effort (and volunteers) to fill out the branches and countries it is missing. Its bare-bones format could also use help, but the content is great!

Latter-day Counsel is also worth mentioning, if for nothing else than its links, which are organized differently than elsewhere. Hopefully counsel on additional topics will join the 40 that are currently available on the site.

Newly Listed Mormon Websites:
