Dave, the link to that Element article should work whether or not you’re subscribed to SMPT. It loads fine on Safari. Haven’t tried firefox. Could it depend on a filter you may be using? By any means, I enjoy the “best of the box” feature. Thanks for pointing me to some good stuff.

I should note Element is available in printed form as well. It’s a fantastic little journal I’d highly encourage anyone interested in Mormon philosophy to subscribe to. The newest edition is quite great.

One more reason to join SMPT, Clark.

BTW- Element is only available for members of SMPT. (I actually host the site) So the papers should only load if you are a member and have a password. Ditto for the audio of past SMPT sessions (and presumably this one)

Kevin, you mean the policy of not allowing a public “secular” ceremony around the time of the temple ceremony? Or not allowing non-recommend holders into the temple ceremony. Personally I think they should allow some pseudo-ceremony outside of the temple since we do in effect have a distinction between the secular marriage and the real marriage. I don’t see why the temple has to be the one to fill out the marriage license. However I can’t really reconcile how to let non-members or non-worthy members into the area around the Celestial Room.

I read that Arizona Republic article and it broke my heart. I hate, hate, hate that policy. I hope there are more stories like this in the press so that the powers that be will see clearly how much goodwill we as a church lose from this needless policy.
