Warmer Toward Utah. Smith also suggested that the Reorganized Saints should, without compromising their beliefs, take more of an interest in the Christian ecumenical movement. As it happens, the Reorganized Saints feel more akin to other church groups-such as the Methodists-than they do to the Utah Mormons, even though relations between the two denominations are warmer than they used to be. Members of the Reorganized Saints' district in Utah are no longer shunned as apostates by Mormons, while spokesmen for the two churches now politely refer to their differences as problems of doctrinal interpretation rather than...
...drum of World War I, and contains some of the finest and most moving war poetry ever written, notably by Britain's Wilfred Owen, who was killed in action in November 1918, and Siegfried Sassoon, who survived. The verbal montage of irony, pathos, and ribald gallantry is much akin to last season's searing musical, Oh What a Lovely...

...paradoxical coexistence of sin and grace, good and evil. This strong reassertion of the central paradox of the Gospels, wrote the Rev. D. R.

This concept is akin to the mystery of faith-in St. Paul's words, "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen"-that formed, then and now, the cornerstone of Niebuhr's religious vision...
...freshets of laughter, the limber comic pacing of Director Gene Saks, and the abrasive tension of the generational tug-of-war. The son-in-law's nose is keener than his intelligence. He scents corruption in every institution, but he demands a kind of impossible social purity, something akin to repealing the Industrial Revolution. The father has permitted an urgent sense of familial responsibility to blur his ethics on expense accounts and income taxes, but he also recognizes that no one can paddle a family canoe in the idyllic recesses of Walden Pond...
