The Students of the Ancient Near East (SANE) is holding a symposium on November 7th, 2008, that will be discussing Temples and Ritual in Antiquity. Many speakers are lined up (including but not limited to William J. Hamblin, John Gee, Mark Allen Wright, Matthew Brown and David Seely) and presentations on Israelite, Christian, Egyptian, Mesoamerican and Classical topics will be delivered. It is going to be held in the BYU Wilkinson Student Center and admission is free. Those who are in the area are encouraged to attend. A schedule has been posted above. For more information, see here.
The Book of Mormon is a volume of holy scripture comparable to the Bible and is a record of God's dealings with His chosen people in the New World. The main purpose of the Book of Mormon is "to the convincing of Jew and Gentile that JESUS is the CHRIST, the ETERNAL GOD, manifesting himself unto all nations." (Book of Mormon Title Page) It was written by ancient American prophets for our day (Mormon 8:35) and is an American testament of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We are happy to discuss any and every topic and question. We will give wide berth to a variety of opinions and ideas. The only thing we ask is that you return the favor by respecting our right to believe as we do and by not issuing lengthy, inflammatory diatribes meant to shock and confuse anyone not familiar with LDS teachings. They can certainly get that elsewhere. :)
