Mormon Times was a website and television broadcast[1] featuring news and information for and about members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), using content published in the religion section of the Deseret Morning News published in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. It is not an official publication of the LDS Church, and is separate from the weekly official Church News section also included with the Deseret News.[2]

Contents

Features

Included in the website's sections are stories of the LDS Church's general authorities and news emanating from of the Church Office Building.

Mormon Times brings the stories, photos, and updates of the more than 50,000 LDS missionaries all together in one place.

The education section contains current-event items drawn from across the LDS Church Educational System, including its seminary program, weekly fireside meetings, and institutes of higher learning like Brigham Young University and the LDS Business College.

As genealogy research is one of the hallmarks of Mormon culture, MormonTimes shares news and information relevant to family history enthusiasts.

Mormon Times works with the Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research to provide its readers with answers on a wide variety of topics in a Q&A section.

Mormon Times provides an entry point to a full, searchable form of the Encyclopedia of Mormonism, courtesy of Brigham Young University's Harold B. Lee Library.

Mormon Times (TV series)

Following the Mormon Times success in print and online, a TV series premiered on October 3, 2010. The TV series contains short segments with summaries of popular stories from the print version, along with interviews, and is hosted by Michelle King.[3] The show is aired Sunday mornings, and is part of KSL-TV's Legacy Sundays programing block, which also airs the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Music and the Spoken Word and History of the Saints.[4]
