Then & Now

The most-read Then & Now posts

Here are this year's most-read posts from Then & Now, a weekly blog edited by Edward J. Blum and Kate Bowler and presented in partnership with the Kripke Center of Creighton University.

1) Jahi McMath and the bodies of children, by Todd M. Brenneman. Jahi McMath is dead. Or, Jahi McMath is alive. Each statement is true—depending upon the person you ask.

2) The perseverance of black LDS church members, by Patrick Mason. The real heroes of this story are those black members of the LDS Church who refused to leave despite being afforded second-class status.
