Sidney B. Sperry Symposium

This weekend Gordon and I went to the Sidney B. sperry Symposium. The theme this year was the D&C: Revelations in Context. Of the15 different presentations we had to choose just 6. They were all so good. It was interesting as they each talked about the new Joseph Smith papers and the impact that has had on the lessons of the D&C. I learned that the tune to the Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief that John Taylor sang for Joseph in the Carthage Jail was not the tune we sing. You can get a copy of the actual tune by going to mormontimes.com/APoorWayfaring Man.pdf. This is in the Church News.

I bet that was a feast. I'm going to hear how that song sounded.
