I wrote some poetry while at church camp. There was a session done by a brother who is a writer, and he focused on Villanelles and Sonnets. This is a quasi-Villanelle with artistic liberities taken.

i actually do get it, in fact. the discovery of the lithograph was a big thing in the #MormonHistory circuit. this was in an ecumenical latter day saint zoom group (it slaps but can be v tense).
i just would not do it.
i wouldn't trip over a picture of emma or elijah or mary tbf.
if a first-hand portrait of paul was found, many christians would have that as their zoom bkground. in 2025 there will def be stassi d cramm ones.
not me tho
i will be a temple background girlie after i go in 2025
World Church (#CommunityofChrist leadership) responded to Conversations about D&C 116!
The article from them covers the circumstances. I wrote this article ( https://medium.com/@wednesdayrjones/doctrine-and-covenants-116-is-significant-scripture-and-scripture-is-what-it-should-remain-11bbcee561c3in ) February 2023, in preparation for World Conference 2023 where there was a (proposed) resolution (G-2) to remove Doctrine and Covenants 116 from the canon
I also spoke to the international Beyond the Walls congregation and did a few presentations in the #MormonHistory and #MormonStudies circuit
today is also the 40th anniversary of women in the priesthood in #CommunityOfChrist
the chat wants to have a "mormonesque" gathering on Beaver's Island. a gathering of the scattered saints if you will. a sunstone part 2.
would it alert the michigan authorities?
probably.
it'll be different this time!

Ruth Smith, professor and Graceland College and the wife of Fred M Smith, 3rd prophet of Community of Christ and Joseph Smith Jr. grandson, was very feminist. Love that for her and her family.
she went up to JSIII (2nd prophet, Fred M's Dad) who was officiant of their (surprise) wedding and was like "promise to not ask me to obey in our wedding vows."
JSIII was like "dw. i wasn't going to do that."
love that for both of them.
