Hugh B. Brown served as an apostle, and later, as a member of the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Before that, he worked for a short time as a professor of religion at Brigham Young University. While there, he received a letter from a close friend who was experiencing what is now commonly called a “crisis of faith.” The advice he gave nearly seventy years ago has never been published, but is still pertinent to us today as we all struggle to “keep the faith.”

This letter has been brought forward by Steve Densley, and this podcast is presented by him, including a reading of the full text of the letter. Click here to read the full text of the letter.

An Interesting Quote

April 2, 2008 by Greg Kearney

I offer up this quote for your collective consideration: 

“Because of their Masonic characters the ceremonies of the temple  are sacred and not for the public.”

October 15, 1911; Messages of  First Presidency, 4: 250.
