| Smoke, But Not Fire, Interrupts Stake's Sunday Meetings |
| LDS Church meetings for about 900 members were cancelled
Sunday when local leaders discovered smoke filling the chapel. But
while firefighters were called in, no fire was found and the
condition was blamed on a faulty heating system. Church members in
the Midland, Pheasant Run and Wheatridge wards on Roy, Utah's west
side should be able to use their building again on Sunday. |
| DC Business Magazine Looks At Temple Attendance After September 11th |
| With tourism down everywhere, the Washington
Business Journal tried to see if people are instead going to church,
asking local congregations about their attendance since the terrorist
attacks. Apparently not understanding the difference between an LDS
Temple and a local chapel, reporter Christine Cube contacted Temple
President Sterling Colton, former general counsel for Marriott
International, who told her that attendance at the temple hasn't
changed since the attacks. However, Geoff Howard of the LDS Church's
public affairs office did tell Cube that attendance at the over 20
LDS chapels in the Washington DC area may have changed. However,
those figures weren't available. |
| Deseret News Reports Jerusalem Center Closing |
| The Deseret News reported today that BYU has
closed its Jerusalem Center due to the instability in the area.
According to the report the center will not take students for at
least the next eight months - through June of 2002. Students have
already not been in the center since last November, when unrest in
Israel led BYU to bring the students home early. Mormon News already
reported the closing last month, following an article in the BYU
Daily Universe. |
| BYU 41st in Yahoo! List of 'Most Wired Colleges' |

magazine. "This recognition is validation that we're doing something important
and useful for faculty and students," said Eric Denna, vice president
of information technology and chief information officer at BYU.
