The Dead Fathers: Grief and Poker in the West Desert - By Common Consent, a Mormon Blog

The Dead Fathers: Grief and Poker in the West Desert A new novel by John Bennion, from BCC Press Once at a conference with Lance Larsen, someone asked what he mostly wrote about. I butted in and said, “What it means to have a body.” When I asked Lance about my main thematic concern, he said, “That’s easy—community.” My judgment of his poetry may have been too limited, but he was spot on about my writing. My polygamist murder mysteries, An Un…Read Article

Funeral Potatoes Recipe Contest - July 1 deadline - By Common Consent, a Mormon Blog

I was at BYU the first time I heard of funeral potatoes, and I thought it was part of some sort of macabre joke that I didn’t have context to understand. Still do, to be honest. Turns out funeral potatoes are no joke in Utah, macabre or otherwise. Crackers or corn flakes? Tots or hash browns? Canned or scratch cream base? It’s serious stuff, and the competition got so serious in one Riverton ward where I served, the compassionate service leader…Read Article

I Was Raised Without Religion, I Married a Mormon.

The following is a guest post by Rachel Liewer. Rachel is a full-time Social Worker and manager at the 988 Crisis Helpline. In this post, she reflects on her own nonreligious upbringing and relationship with her Mormon husband Taylor, a “permablogger” at BCC. I was raised without religion. My husband is Mormon. Mormons have the lowest rate of interfaith marriage compared to other major religious groups in the U.S. Only 5% of Mormons are married …United States · United States Read Article

What do we think about garments? - By Common Consent, a Mormon Blog

Photo credit: New York Times Last Friday, the New York Times ran an article about women’s new garment styles, which led to a wide-ranging conversation about garments on the BCC backlist. Conversation lightly edited for clarity: MDH Garments in the NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/us/mormon-undergarments.html Russell The article says “While women in the church often repeat the adage ‘modest is hottest,’ the garments are a quiet source of f…Salt Lake City · Salt Lake City Read Article

The Missionary as Fool - By Common Consent, a Mormon Blog

About to walk off a cliff? Yes, this guy seems to be a fool. But in the Marseilles tarot, this foolishness is less perilous: Which gets you thinking: are fools always foolish? According to St. Paul, some fools are wise: “If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise” (1 Cor 3.18) So with the missionary: he is young, naive, foolish but also energetic, hopeful, an apostle after Pentecost. In my mem…Read Article

The LDS Church Should Replace Some USAID Cuts - By Common Consent, a Mormon Blog

Executive Summary: (This is a long post, so I’m going to give the conclusion upfront. You can read the post to see how I get there.) The billions of dollars in cuts Trump, along with Musk’s DOGE, have imposed on USAID are already leading to the death and immiseration of the poorest children in the world. The church could alleviate this current and future suffering by temporarily funding those USAID programs that aided children. This would be bot…Salt Lake City · Salt Lake City Read Article

The God Who Hied Beyond Kolob - By Common Consent, a Mormon Blog

I have only ever seen the real Yahweh once — in art of course, I am no mystic. Watch the 1981 movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and you will too. Yahweh is the supernatural power of Raiders but he does not exist in a monotheistic universe. As all good Jonesists know, the canon actually begins with Temple of Doom where the polytheistic Hindu pantheon makes an appearance. Jonesism seems to believe in a universe of gods where Yahweh and Jesus share a…Salt Lake City · Salt Lake City Read Article
