Current Program Information

Mormon Miscellaneous
World-Wide Talk Show

Date: Sunday, 10 June 2007

Subject: I will continue the subject begun last week on the Mountain Meadows Massacre in my discussion with Will Bagley (I have added that discussion to my podcast). I will summarize the event and read some of what I consider to be the most significant documents. For some 40 years I have read and pondered the subject hoping to understand how very religious people could commit such a horrible crime. I will list and discuss the various explanations of the motivations and declare which scenario I accept. Note: Those who would like to pose a question or make a brief comment on this subject may send me an email NOW at: van.hale@k-talk.com. I will incorporate these emails into my Talk Show this Sunday.

A new feature in the weekly Church News section of the Deseret News addresses difficult issues. 2 June 2007 included an article "Remembering Mountain Meadows." It was based on the extensive research by Rick Turley, one of three authors working on a book on the Mountain Meadows Masscre to be published in the next year. This article can be found at http://www.desnews.com/cn/

Also, Rick Turley and Will Bagley will be appearing live this Sunday, 10 June, on SLC television station, Channel Two, with host Rod Decker to discuss their divergent interpretations of sources on the Mountain Meadows Massacre.
