all are alike unto god: mormonism and social justice

i am totally worn out and tired right now, so i won't say too much tonight. i think i'll do a whole summary tomorrow. the mormon studies conference, all are alike unto god: mormonism and social justice, was incredible. besides maybe lynn wardle, i enjoyed every session. in some ways, i felt like i was catching up on the great gospel lessons that haven't been taught in church. even though it was an academic setting, i seriously felt like i finished each session with a total spiritual rush. though some were critical of the institutional and cultural actions in mormonism, with exception of wardle, i left each session with a total gratitude and love for the gospel and a thanksgiving for the opportunity to be a part of it.
