at the same major fast-food chain—for example, one in New York City and the other in Kansas City—would have different levels of deductions for the purpose of net income: net income would be lower and the SNAP benefit higher for the recipient in New York City than for the one in Kansas City. The second deduction for working SNAP recipients (and for those seeking work or students/trainees) is the dependent care deduction. Prior to the Farm Bill of 2008,9 the dependent care deduction was capped at $175 per month, but since 2008 it has not been capped. This means that actual costs of dependent care, such as the direct cost of care, transportation to and from care, copayments for subsidized care, unreimbursed payments for care, and fees for unused care, may be deducted in the net income calculation (CBPP, 2010). Because the cost of child care varies across states (NACCRRA, 2011), the amount of the dependent care deduction will vary accordingly.
The committee identified three additional implicit geographic cost-of-living adjustments in the benefit formula that can have an effect on the SNAP allotment. First, the elderly and disabled can deduct their monthly out-of-pocket medical expenses in excess of $35 from net income. Given that regional differences in medical spending are substantial (CBO, 2008; Fisher et al., 2009), this introduces geographic cost-of-living differences into the benefit formula. A second regionally focused deduction comes from the child support payment allowance. Pirog and colleagues (1998) document cross-state differences in child support awards, and this, too, may introduce geographic variation in SNAP benefits. The third adjustment works in the opposite direction from the others by reducing the size of the SNAP allotment. Income from other transfer programs, such as TANF, reduces the size of the SNAP benefit, and since the TANF benefit is set at the state level and tends to be higher in high-cost states, this has the effect of "taxing" the SNAP allotment in high-cost areas since it is set nationally at a fixed level for the lower 48 states.
Because most of the geographic differences in cost of living in the SNAP benefit formula are implicit rather than explicit, the question arises of whether making the adjustment more direct would facilitate definition of the benefit's adequacy. For example, the evidence of regional differences in prices across the lower 48 states (recall that Alaska and Hawaii already have upward adjustments to benefits) suggests that in lieu of moving from the TFP to the Low-Cost Food Plan as the baseline for the maximum benefit, one could instead index the benefit for differences in the cost of living. That is, the indexed benefit for location i in time period t (Bit) would be the product of the price index (Pit) and the federal maximum benefit guarantee (G), or Bit = Pit × G. Normalizing the average price index to 1, Pit would be

Car Travel
I–84 is the main east–west route into the Columbia River Gorge. U.S. 26, heading east from Portland and northwest from Prineville, is the main route into the Mt. Hood area. Portions of I–84 and U.S. 26 that pass through the mountains pose winter-travel difficulties, though the state plows these roadways regularly. The gorge is closed frequently during harsh winters due to ice and mud slides. Extreme winds can also make driving hazardous, and potentially result in highway closures.
The Historic Columbia River Highway (U.S. 30) from Troutdale to just east of Oneonta Gorge passes Crown Point State Park and Multnomah Falls. I–84/U.S. 30 continues on to the Dalles. Highway 35 heads south from the Dalles to the Mt. Hood area, intersecting with U.S. 26 at Government Camp. From Portland, the Columbia Gorge–Mt. Hood Scenic Loop is the easiest way to see the gorge and the mountain. Take I–84 east to Troutdale and follow U.S. 26 to Bennett Pass (near Timberline), where Highway 35 heads north to Hood River; then follow I–84 back to Portland. Or make the loop in reverse.
Major rental-car agencies are available in Gresham (3 miles west of Troutdale); Enterprise is also in Hood River and the Dalles.

Revealed: The secrets behind OS X Quick Look
18th May 2009 | 12:00
Get the very best out of Leopard's fantastic preview tool
Shortcuts to success
'Look before you launch' was the memorable catchphrase Apple used when unleashing Quick Look in 2007, wryly adding that 'opening files is so 2006'.
Unfortunately, Leopard's built-in 'super preview' went somewhat unnoticed as back-up app Time Machine became an instant media darling. This is a pity because if anything makes Leopard worth the money, it's Quick Look.
By default, select an item in Finder (or Mail), hit Space or press Command+Y, and Quick Look previews your selection, often showing the document in question without you having to open its creator app.
If you instead press Option+Command+Y after selecting an item, Quick Look jumps to full-screen mode, which is also available by clicking the full-screen button in a standard Quick Look window. Pressing Escape quits full-screen mode and Space or Escape closes Quick Look.
When previewing certain types of media, additional functionality is provided in the Quick Look window. Music and movies can be played and scrubbed, and PDFs can be paged via Page Up/Page Down (and also Space and Shift+Space in full-screen mode) and zoomed in and out via Command++ and Command+-. Should you want to change your Quick Look selection without closing the window, navigate Finder in the background using the cursor keys.
Picture perfect
Image previews also provide various options. Along with the Quick Look toolbar enabling you to add the current image to iPhoto with a single click, you can Option-click to zoom in and Shift-Option-click to zoom out. When an image is zoomed in and no keys are pressed, you can drag the image around. Additionally, if your image is too large for the Quick Look window or you've zoomed in a smaller image, Command-Option-click alternates between 'actual pixels' and 'fit in window' sizes.
IMAGE PREVIEW: Little-known shortcuts enable you to zoom in and out of images previewed in Quick Look
If you select multiple items (which needn't be of the same file type) prior to invoking Quick Look, further possibilities open up. You can manually or automatically move through your selection by using the left and right cursor keys or the play/pause button, respectively. You can also update your selection—or even a running slideshow—by selecting new items in Finder.
Most impressive, though, is Index Sheet view, accessed via the Index Sheet button or Command+Return. This displays thumbnails of your selection that are navigable using the cursor keys. Return opens an item in Quick Look, and if you're deft with Return/Command+Return, Index Sheet view becomes a great way to rapidly preview a folder of items.
INDEX SHEET VIEW: This enables you to preview and navigate a selection of files, including fonts
Additionally, should your selection contain more than 20 items (the maximum number shown simultaneously in Index Sheet view), you can page through it via Page Up/Page Down.
Format support
Format support
By default, Quick Look supports many file formats, including most image formats, text documents (such as PDF, RTF, and output from both Microsoft Office and iWork), audio, music and even fonts. There are some things it can't handle, though, but since Apple made Quick Look extensible, plug-ins fill most gaps.
To install a plug-in, drop it in /Library/QuickLook (create the 'QuickLook' folder if it doesn't exist) or /Library/QuickLook, depending on whether you want to install for a single user or all users. Your Mac should work with the new plug-in within seconds, without the need to restart.
Of the many plug-ins available, the best include BetterZip Quick Look Generator (for peeking inside ZIP archives), Suspicious Package (for checking install packages), SneakPeek Pro (a detailed preview engine for Illustrator, InDesign and EPS documents), and qlcolorcode (for code syntax highlighting).
INSIDE ZIPS: Fed up with ZIPs displaying as icons in Quick Look? Get yourself BetterZip Quick Look Generator
But many others exist (including, bizarrely, D64QLPlugin for previewing C64 virtual disk images), and you can investigate further examples at the QuickLook Plugins List and QLPlugins websites.
D64QLPLUGIN: Retrogaming fans rejoice (well, Commodore-oriented ones)—a Quick Look plug-in supports D64 files

Goetia – S. L. MacGregor Mathers (1904) (quoted)
The Sixteenth Spirit is Zepar. He is a Great Duke, and appeareth in Red Apparel and Armour, like a Soldier. His office is to cause Women to love Men, and to bring them together in love. He also maketh them barren. He governeth 26 Legions of Inferior Spirits, and his Seal is this, which he obeyeth when he seeth it.
Pseudomonarchia daemonum – Johann Wier (1583) (quoted)
Zepar is a great duke, appearing as a souldier, inflaming women with the loove of men, and when he is bidden he changeth their shape, untill they maie enjoie their beloved, he also maketh them barren, and six and twentie legions are at his obeie and commandement.

Firstly, I'd like to make a few things clear .. this instalment (made few changes) was posted 2 years ago and now it's time to continue/ finish it. Secondly, this is all for fun so don't take anything seriously!!
Background Information
India-Forums - Chinna thirai University
Serials - subject
Thread - classrooms
Members - teachers & students (interchangeable roles)
Head teacher - Atina
From 9th December 2003 lectures/ lessons started for Tamil serials and a lot of members have graduated with flying colours!!
Comments & suggestions welcome.
Tanu comes out of a room with a "Do NOT Enter!" sign. She looks around and see Gisel's keeping her students behind for meditation lesson. As Tanu closes the door we see a familiar looking man tied to a chair and tape over his mouth .. Tanu, villi aa??
Srima and Sri are busy trying to keep on top of all the cleaning and closing doors(Cleaning? Closing? Yep, this is what u call moderating!!) "Did you read today's newspaper about Vikatan Kathai Kuzhu looking for a new member?" Atina asks, moodufying one of the rooms. Sri looks confused, "Ithellaam vera news paper la advertise panna aarambichutaangalaa .. onnum vittu vaikka maatanga pola irrukku?" Srima nods and Sri gets ready to announce the news .. Tanu stops him and a long conversation takes place. Atina and Srima listen carefully in the background. What's all this Tanu?? Only u know!!
Smiles and Gisel are chatting in the chat corner and Shamz joins them to share the breaking news. "Really?" Gisel and Smiles asks simultaneously. Shamz hands Gisel the note with the address, "You're the right person .. we all know ur FFs are fantastic and now we can see them on screen, say what?? " Gisel agrees and goes to plan for the day. Shamz isn't ready to let this chance slip away and asks Smiles, "Do me a favour and find Thendralfan007 so she can also go with Gisel - the more the merrier!!" Smiles leaves and shamz is excited. Tanu listens to the conversation from the Update room She's a true villi .. Kumaran, sign her up coz we've had enough of Charu, Padma, and all GWs et al!!
Scene shifts to a dark location... " Yaar intha velai panni iruppaa, nammakku ethukku veena tension?" He continues, "Antha forum peyar enna .. ?" "India-Forums!" answers the lady sitting opposite him. "well, this is the right time to put an end to their creative FF plots and valuable comments .. how can they possibly think they can better us?" He laughs and the others join in. What's going on in here?? VKK planning against us aa??
To be continued .. Thodarum.

Picketline Lyrics - Waterdown
under the heels of the corporations your small world is crashing down
under the laws of the worldwide market nothing is sacred now
the new gods rank us worthless and deny our potential
unemployment as a weapon to make us fight each other
get up!
under the worldwide market
get up!
nothing is sacred now
the billboards proclamate prosperity
the media spreads the philosophy
reproduction of clandestine slavery
"and everyone's a winner, baby!"
your bosses accumulate property while the masses DIE in poverty
and everyone's a winner, baby!
everyone's a winner baby.
get up!

RMC Op-Eds and Letters to the Editor
RMC Op-Ed: Reform… at What Cost?
By Susan Bevan, RMC National Board co-Chair (November 24, 2009)
Congress, the Senate and the President need to understand that women's reproductive health deserves the same equitable treatment that these other preventable medical procedures enjoy. It certainly must not be used as a bargaining chip in the rush to pass one of the largest legislative initiatives of our time.
RMC Letter to the Editor: New Arizona Abortion Laws Are Wrong
By Frederick Vensel, RMC Member (October 2, 2009)
As a member of the Republican Majority for Choice, I know that these at-risk women might be desperate enough to consider — or obtain — a dangerous "back-alley" abortion, or attempt a self-abortion that is unsafe and potentially life-threatening.
Grand Rapids Press: Do Pro-Choice Views Have a Place in Today's GOP?
By Meegan Holland (July 21, 2009)
Whether today's Republican party is becoming receptive toward pro-choice views probably depends on which Republican you ask. A national organization called the Republican Majority for Choice writes in its mission statement that "We are deeply concerned with direction of our Party if it continues to endorse a social agenda that is both intrusive and alienating."
Newsday: Is there a middle on abortion?
By Candy Straight, RMC co-Chair (May 25, 2009)
"Pro-life" and "pro-choice" are not medical terms; rather, they are labels created to segment voters for political purposes.
Huffington Post: Note to the GOP- Stop Shunning Social Inclusivity
By Susan Bevan and Candy Straight, RMC co-Chairs (May 13, 2009)
The GOP can only regain its political power by winning elections. And the Republicans who are being elected are doing so by embracing the real Republican majority. The party must follow their lead and create an incentive for fiscally conservative, socially inclusive elected leaders to stay Republican.
The Hill's Congress Blog: The GOP Must Not Alienate it's Moderates
By Kellie Ferguson, RMC Executive Director (May 4, 2009)
As an organization who has fought to elect Republicans to Congress, it is outrageous to hear the continuous cheers from members of the GOP over Senator Specter's Party switch.
Philadelphia Inquirer: GOP Needs Moderate Republicans to Win
By Karen Chizeck, RMC Pennsylvania Chair (April 2, 2009)
As GOP registration shrinks, and the number of moderates grows, this is the time for a big-picture view.
The Hill's Congress Blog: Steele's Contradictions Continue to Hurt GOP
By Kellie Ferguson, RMC Executive Director (March 17th, 2009)
The GOP seems to be continuing the practice of wanting things both ways. On the one hand, GOP leaders promote our history as the Party of limited government and personal freedom, yet they consistently promote big government intrusion in our pocketbooks and our personal lives.
Grand Forks Herald: Why Colorado Rejected Personhood Law
By Amanda Mountjoy, RMC Colorado Chair (February 26, 2009)
As the chair of Republican Majority for Choice Colorado, I helped lead the fight against the personhood ballot measure in my state last year. This deceptive language was promoted as simply granting equal rights to a fertilized egg, but the coalition we were a part of showed Coloradans just how extreme the amendment really was.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: GOP Must Reject Reproductive Rights Extremists
By Elsie Hillman, RMC National Board Member (February 19, 2009)
While we are traditionally the party of limited government intrusion and personal responsibility, the social extremist wing of the Republican Party has taken over and made abolishing choice a focus for the party.
The Hill's Congress Blog: The Importance of Choice
By Kellie Ferguson, RMC Executive Director (January 22, 2009)
Roe has never been about promoting a particular choice; it has always been about giving families the freedom and privacy to make personal choices free from government control.
RMC in the News
The Hill: Senate Expected to Approve Sebelius Nod
By J. Taylor Rushing (March 2, 2009)
Republican Majority for Choice has a different view. Executive Director Kellie Rose Ferguson said that politically, the party risks damaging itself by considering abortion a litmus test for candidates and nominees.
Time Magazine: Steele Makes History
By Steven Gray (January 31, 2009)
"He understands the importance of having candidates who appeal to different constituencies without promoting a monolithic agenda," says Kellie Ferguson, executive director of Republican Majority for Choice, a Washington-based group of moderate conservatives.
A New Republican Party
By Elvin Lim (February 2, 2009)
Steele's moderate Republican supporters recognize as much. "He understands the importance of having candidates who appeal to different constituencies without promoting a monolithic agenda," says Kellie Ferguson, executive director of Republican Majority for Choice.
RMC Press Releases
RMC issues Statement on New Gallup Polling (May 15, 2009)
The RMC issues a statement reminding Americans that it's easy to be mislead by the wording surrounding the Gallup poll, but that at its' core, it proves that Americans are still overwhelmingly for choice.
RMC Issues Statement on Senator Specter's Switch (April 28, 2009)
The GOP needs to wake up and learn what its continued refusal to re-open the Big Tent is costing itself, says RMC leadership.
RMC Mourns the Passing of Ron Silver (March 16, 2009)
RMC issues a statement reflecting on the life and contributions of actor Ron Silver.
RMC Tells Steele to Stand Up to Extremists (March 13, 2009)
In light of Michael Steele's recent comments on choice and backtracking, RMC tells him the time to pander is over.
RMC Applauds Embryonic Stem Cell Research Restriction Removal (March 9, 2009)
RMC celebrates the decision made to repeal restrictive funding limitations on this potentially life-saving research.

Why Do Mormons Have No Liturgical Year?
Of course, Mormons generally celebrate national and cultural holidays in whatever country they live, and this tends to include traditional Christian festivals such as Christmas and Easter (whose own roots extend into pre-Christian paganism). But while church attenders on or around these dates may hear a vague nod in the direction of acknowledging the importance of the events a given Christian holy day is intended to commemorate, there is nothing peculiarly Mormon about these services; even the most important Christian holy days play little (and sometimes virtually no) role in public Mormon worship, whereas other religious commemorative festivals sacred to the Christian calendar, but that lack any accompanying secular fanfare from commercial establishments, such as Lent and Advent, are entirely absent from Mormon consciousness. (Ironically, is it nothing but shopping-mall Santas and the aggressive promotion of plastic eggs that insures even these two holy days a marginal place in our worship services?)
It's not that Mormons lack a sense of sacred time entirely. Mormons place much more emphasis on Sunday as the sabbath than many, perhaps most, other Christian denominations, although the Mormon sabbath derives more from Old Testament commandment than it does from a weekly commemoration of the Resurrection. Mormons also undergo particular rituals marking seasons of life, more pronounced for men than women. But the closest the Church comes to a sense of sacred, cyclical time focused on the year may be the semiannual conducting of General Conference (and the Christmas Devotional–see below), which, tellingly, can supplant Easter entirely in Mormon worship services should it fall on that date. It is interesting to note that while General Conference does fall on predictable dates, it does not commemorate any event in sacred time, nor does it seem more than haphazardly and pragmatically situated in its yearly cycle.
What lies behind this absence (besides an obvious lack of official revelation designating holy days)? Has the Church absorbed a lingering Puritan suspicion of holidays that lack biblical or scriptural precedent? (The Puritans, for example, in proverbially draconian fashion, had a habit of suppressing Christmas celebrations whenever they came into power.) Is it part of a more general trend of distancing ourselves from other Christians, many of whose practices are rooted in medieval developments the Church deems apostate? On the one hand, the religious dimensions of Christmas have clear implications for our worship, to the degree that we attribute significance to Jesus' birth. On the other hand, while it is as much our sacred history as that of any other Christian, it is not structured in a uniquely Mormon calendrical frame, which typically denies December as Jesus' birth month. In light of these facts, it may seem only natural that we commemorate the religious event itself, as if in abstract, but with no sense of sacred time or a need for specific religious ceremony. Given their origins, there's no reason for Christmas or Easter, with all their vestigially pagan pomp and pageantry, to be sanctified by the Mormon calendar.
Another possible inhibition when it comes to adopting a liturgical year may be found in our doctrinal understanding of ritual. Programatic behavior that occurs in designated places at designated times is essentially ritualistic in nature, and Mormon theology seems to keep a relatively tight reign on its rituals, their rationale, and their signfiicance to the community. Do the sorts of rituals that might otherwise mark sacred time throughout the year fit uneasily in a Mormon theological approach to ritaul, centered as it is almost exclusively on necessity? That is, does the Mormon conept of ritual as a sequence of individual induction ceremonies necessary for finally making the transition to eternal life have too few mechanisms for incorporating and processing rituals that recur and are cyclical, and thus can (and should) be undergone multiple times?
One such mechanism is employed to account for the weekly recurrence of the sacrament as a renewal of other rituals ordinarily experienced only once in a lifetime. This explanation seemingly has some potential to account for rituals that are repeated at designated intervals as a way of renewing those more essential rites undergone only once. Perhaps, though, the extravagant claims made for the sacrament as a renewal of all other ritually realized covenants has foreclosed the possibility of any other recurrent rituals finding a place in Mormon theology. Is there simply no doctrinal room left in the theological neighborhood for another cyclical ritual to take up residence?
A second explanation construes repeated temple rituals as proxy work for the dead, a rationale that obviously does not lend itself well to rituals marking sacred time, given the Mormon belief that the dead have escaped time.
Finally, an instance of less precisely prescribed ritual behavior can be observed in priesthood blessings, which are administered according to need and request and are viewed not as necessary, but often simply as important to providing of comfort. Could this angle allow purchase for seasonal liturgical acknowledgment of events sacred to our own history? Or, when the element of sincere, spontaneous and unpredictable need is removed and substituted by a routinely recurring time scheme that focuses on seasonal rather than individually fluctuating circumstances, would the justification for such an event evaporate with the unique causes that form its stimulus?
The Christmas Devotional may stand as the single Mormon seasonal celebration actually tied to external calendrical events, and as such may demonstrate both the possibilities and the limits. The devotional fits neatly into a Mormon system essentially as an extra church service modeled on General Conference and presided over by the highest echelon, commemorating the season in which Jesus' birth is celebrated by the delivery of addresses appropriate to the Christmas spirit. It fits because it gives an appealing religious cast to a holiday whose celebration is already widespread and entrenched in this country, but does it in a way that does not infringe on any other religious practice, taking as it does the guise of a fireside, the format in which so many other extra-church gatherings of a more impromptu nature are held. It may be that anything in the way of official liturgical seasonal celebration must be presided over by Church leaders and televised from Salt Lake City, since, if it were administered on the local level but were nevertheless relatively prescribed in its particulars and progamatic in tone, it would qualify essentially as ritual and thus would fit uneasily into Mormon doctrine.

16 Responses to "Why Do Mormons Have No Liturgical Year?"
Good question, and I like your thoughts on it. But I don't think you're taking all relevant facts into account.
What do you make of the Mormon propensity for large-scale, seasonal pageants, for instance? The Hill Cumorah Pageant is among the most well-known. There are also Christmas-light shows and pageants at temples. And of course, there are innumerable Pioneer Day pageants and shows, which _are_ connected to a particular day (which happens to be an LDS-specific holiday, no less!).
So, it's a curious mix. LDS culture doesn't include a lot of traditional liturgical calendar celebration, but is often pretty happy to replace this with our own brand of homegrown seasonal festival.
(For one temple pageant example, see http://www.lds.org/placestovisit/location/0,10634,1792-1-1-1,00.html . LDS.org notes that "The [Mesa Arizona temple] Easter pageant began as a sunrise service in 1928. Now it is the world's largest annual outdoor Easter pageant, with a cast of over 400." Others at http://www.lds.org/placestovisit/alphabetical/0,10659,1614-1-1-2,00.html . Plus, there are all of those handcart reenactments that happen in July.)
You mean July 24 *isn't* a holy day?
I don't actually feel the need to celebrate another holiday or festival. Most countries and cultures provide enough of their own without extra religious ones. What's wrong with just going about your business?
Peter, I don't think Kiskilili is necessarily trying to advocate for any particular changes to our attenuated liturgical year as much as she's trying to reflect on possible theological and historical reasons for it.
What's wrong with just going about your business?
Excellent advice, but I'm afraid it's far too practical to be consistent with the spirit of the rampant and irrelevant speculation that characterizes the Bloggernacle. Sure, there's nothing at all wrong with just going about one's business, but it's not really what the Bloggernacle's about. We live to ask pointless, impertinent, sometimes downright nosy questions to which there can be no definitive answers, and then debate them at great–nay, interminable–length.
I think you answer part of the question with the discussion of low-church mentality predominance in Mormonism given our yankee Methodist roots.
I wonder if a lot of the lack of a liturgical calendar comes from the strong millenarianism that prevailed in the early church. When you think the second coming is right around the corner, and that's what you focus on, the commemoration of the past kind of recedes. You still commemorate personally significant events (hence the sacrament), but there's not as much a focus on commemorating historical events. The focus is on the future. Other than the official church historian, the church hardly thought about recovering the past at all at least until Joseph F. Smith did his "pilgrimage" to the prophet's birthplace.
I think the Church has done more recently to focus on commemorating the past, what with all the pioneer trek madness and President Hinckley's push to recognize the prophet's birthday. It just hasn't had the time to develop into a standardized calendar. After all, the liturgical tradition took many centuries to develop in mainstream Christianity; we're not even 200 years old yet.
One minor quibble: April General Conference does, in fact, commemorate something sacred: the founding of the Church. In years past, this Conference always included April 6th, regardless of which day of the week it was. It no longer does now that we've shortened the whole affair to a Sat/Sun event.
Also, though queuno is being sarcastic, I think you can make a pretty strong case that, for those of us still in the Rocky Mountains, July 24th is, in fact, part of a liturgical year. Is not the annual parade a religious ceremony, despite lacking a lot of the trappings of ritual? Isn't it a very Mormon approach to take the religious aspect out of the chapel and into the streets?
alea – I admit to being a bit sarcastic, but you have to realize that July 24 isn't just for those of you in the Rocky Mountains. It's apparently celebrated by every freakin' stake in the Church, without any consideration to the *local* pioneer heritage.
Even stakes in South America celebrate July 24. Stakes in Ohio — *Ohio* — celebrate July 24.
Despite my initial sarcastic tone, I maintain in all seriousness that July 24 and April 6 are as close to a common day of celebration around the entire Church.
(somehow forgot to finish my thought but I don't think the post is lost)
The incessant Pioneer Day celebration on July 24 used to bug me when I wasn't living in Utah, but a few years ago, Elder Robert S Wood gave us some compelling thoughts in a stake conference about how Mormons everywhere should recognize Pioneer Day, even if they have no Utah connections.
Nowadays I encourage locals in Texas to research both the historical pioneer aspects of the local area, augmenting that with July 24…
who has serious Utah Pioneer cred, but outside BYU, never lived a day of his life there (I was the BYU freshman considered a "gentile" because I came from the Midwest, despite having three campus buildings named after ancestors).
As a former Episcopalian, I miss the liturgical seasons dearly. There is a sense of breathing in and out with the passage of the year. There is anticipation of the birth of Christ and the triumph of Easter. When I first realized that conference could take the place of Easter, I was shocked and horrified. In my ward, there are a couple of Easter lillies on the front table, and a couple of hymns that were relevant. One Easter, I was serving in the nursery and a kid threw up on me, and that was my Easter. We used to have processions and flowers and music-filled Easter vigils. I will miss them forever.
I appreciate your comment, Kaliki. I'm very attracted to Episcopalianism for the reasons you mention: the music and processions and sense of solemn grandeur that accompanies holy days.
Thanks for all the other comments as well. You're all of course right to point to pageants and pioneer parades as part of the Mormon experience of the year, and that may amount to something in the way of a "sacred calendar." And maybe it's just my own biases that prevent me from considering them liturgical commemorations exactly–but other sacred communal events in the Church typically occur within sacred space (chapel or temple) and are relatively solemn (if not extremely so).
Of course the dividing line between the sacred and the secular is ultimately arbitrary; for example, Santa Claus, today an icon of Christmas's commercial secular dimension, is in origin a saint (a bishop who lived in Turkey in the 4th century), and it wasn't so long ago that he was still being portrayed in all the regalia appropriate to his position: with a bishop's mitre and rosary and crucifix. Just as one could make an argument that Santa Claus belongs to the realm of the sacred, one could certainly argue that pioneer parades and pageants are an event sacred to the Mormon community. But I personally see them more in line with Young Men's stake basketball championships, which are also important to the Mormon community, and are cyclical, but are nevertheless neither central nor sacred.
Such celebrations, as fundamentally Mormon as they are, are relatively spontaneous, festive, and local rather than official, religious, and global. (I haven't ever noticed any Pioneer Day celebrations where I live–perhaps I haven't paid close enough attention?) Again, this may just be my own religious predilections: I adore high church ritual. I'm less attracted to sentimental temple pageants.
Peter, I'm not actually proposing the adoption of another holiday (though heaven knows I'll take whatever days off work I can get! ;)). I'm musing more on why the possible holy days and holidays we have do not have a specifically religious component to their observance, and whether that's endemic to Mormon sensibilities or the result of happenstance. In asking this, I'm considering, as a hypothetical, Mormon holy days that could potentially replace the Christian liturgical calendar if the reason we reject it is its origins, not the idea of a liturgical year itself.
Great comment, JKC. I'm really still not sure exactly what I think about the lack of a Mormon liturgical year, although I suspect, as you say, that it's largely an inheritance of low church sensibilities. I wonder how millenarianism might have played a role? As you say, it could well have oriented the saints toward the future and away from the past. On the other hand, our scriptures point us to religiously significant events in the past, and all of our claims to authority are grounded in an appeal to the distant past. It could well be that the Church's young age plays a role in this as well–what are pageants today could conceivably be liturgical commemorations in the future–but one could argue that we're too young to have any ritualistic activities at all. Yet we do.
Thanks for your correction, Alea–I had no idea General Conference was so scheduled to commemorate the organizing of the Church, although it certainly makes sense!
I must admit to being quite enamored of Advent and Lent in particular, and I'd love to find a way to sneak them into the LDS calendar. My off-the-cuff speculation is that our lack of a liturgical year is due to cultural accident rather than anything unique to LDS theology; as you and JKC note, we come from a low church heritage. The situation seems somewhat akin to that of not using crosses–I can't think of anything in our doctrine would require this, but our avoidance of the practice is so entrenched in our tradition that we're somewhat suspicious of it, have come up with doctrinal rationales to explain the situation, and are likely to associate the practice with apostasy. My experience is that Latter-day Saints frequently associate ritual of the high church variety with unnecessary pomp and vain repetitions, and see it as a less authentic form of worship. (Though our own ritual practices, of course, aren't interpreted that way.)
I'm also intrigued by the questions you raise about ritual, and its place in our culture. I like your point about how we seem to want ritual to be necessary in some way to justify its existence–thus the official reason for repeating temple worship isn't for the experience per se, but in order to further the work of saving the souls of the dead. How much (if any) room do we have for ritual for the sake of the experience itself, as opposed to ritual as a means to another end? Kaimi's example of pageants might fall into such a category, though I suspect that many would justify the existence of such pageants as facilitating the goal of missionary work. But the sacrament might also perhaps fit into this category–as you note, we've closely connected it to other necessary saving rituals, but in and of itself it isn't strictly necessary, and one could certainly say the same thing about the yearly Primary program, Conference, or Pioneer Day celebrations.
Really, my guess is that what would be required for Mormons to adopt the liturgical year would be an influx of converts like Kaliki, who come from high church traditions.
Great comment, Lynnette–you're probably right that it has to do with little more than accident of history; for similar reasons, perhaps, we're sometimes wary of discussing Mary, almost as though we believe she's been irretrievably adopted by Catholicism. This time of year I sometimes experience Advent envy; Advent looks like such a cool idea.
How about a liturgical month? We begin each month with testimony meeting and end each month with home teaching. We teach from different stuff in RS/Priesthood depending on the week of the month. I know this isn't exactly liturgy, but at least it's cyclical.
The fellowship of churches of which I am part (independent Christian churches/churches of Christ) also does not follow any liturgical year, generally. Sadly, most congregations just go along with the secular calendar. My guess is that the Mormon lack of a liturgical calendar goes straight back to its frontier low-church Protestant roots.
I think that following a liturgical year would be perhaps too confining to fit with our LDS "style". After all, it's much more than Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter–the liturgical calendar defines the content, both spoken word and music, of almost every worship service of the entire year. I think that this would limit the ability of leaders to determine the spiritual needs of their congregations and plan sacrament meetings accordingly.
With that said, we have been celebrating Advent as a family this Christmas season. We celebrated Holy Week last Easter. I love the concepts of both seasons and felt like we could incorporate them in an appropriate way into our family life.
I personally love Pioneer Day for many reasons, some deeply personal and spiritual, and I feel cheated when my ward leaders do nothing to acknowledge that day in Sacrament meeting.

Today is David Bowie's 66th birthday, and he decided to celebrate by offering a present to his legions of fans: The surprise release of "Where Are We Now?" — Bowie's first new song in 10 years.
With "Where Are We Now?" Bowie may have mounted "the most surprising, perfect, and welcome comeback in rock history," says Neil McCormick at The Telegraph. Give it a listen.
Or yesterday. But song's still pretty.

Today, there is considerable celebration amongst a small, badly neglected group of people at the Appeal Court ruling just handed down. This has determined that soldiers on operations overseas retain their protection under Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which safeguards the right to life.
The result of the ruling, as The Times records (and others here and here), is that families of British troops killed in war zones may be able to sue the government for a breach of human rights.
That "badly neglected group" who are so pleased with this ruling comprises the relatives – including the mothers, fathers, husbands, wives and even grandparents – of soldiers killed in action, almost all of whom feel let down by the system and deserted by the very people who are supposed to be there to help them.
Amongst them is Sue Smith, mother of Pte Philip Hewett who was killed with two others in a Snatch Land Rover in al Amarah on 16 July 2005, the circumstances of which we have recorded in several posts (such as this one, plus this).
Sue – like many others - has since spent many years battling to seek justice for her son and has a court case pending, suing the MoD for negligence, a case which was awaiting the outcome of this judgement. The way is not clear yet, as permission has been given to take the case to the House of Lords - granted on condition that the Secretary of State for Defence pays the legal costs whether the plaintiffs win or lose. But this is a significant step forward.
Sue's point – which I heartily endorse – is that the Army, for local political reasons, knowingly and with "malice of forethought" sent men out in highly vulnerable Snatches, fully aware that these vehicles provided no protection whatsoever against the weapons that were being deployed against them, in circumstances where there was an extremely high risk that they would be attacked and killed.
This goes way beyond the normal risks of war where commanders at all levels failed in their most basic duties to protect the lives of the troops under their command, when simple, basic precautions and adequate equipment could have protected them.
As with the original decision handed down in April 2008 by Mr Justice Collins sitting at the High Court in London, there will probably be talking heads bemoaning this judgement, arguing that the Courts have no place in the battlefield. Already, some senior commanders are complaining that they will lose control over their own men, as tactical decisions – and orders – are questioned on "health and safety" grounds.
In principle, it is hard not to disagree with these sentiments but the upshot is that the Army and the MoD have largely brought it on themselves. Had they responded intelligently – and decently – to the very real and well-founded concerns of relatives, instead of "dead batting" them and then relying on their presumed exemption from human rights law, none of this would have happened. Not one of the relatives wanted to go to law, but the attitude of the authorities left them with no choice.
In that context, we see a very measured and sensible response in The Daily Telegraph.
But there is another player here, which also failed the relatives – and the men and women who died, and will die. That is Parliament. There will be few, I vouch, who will make the connection with this case, but the fact is that Parliament has a responsibility here.
Uniquely, soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines are bound by law to put their lives at risk and occasionally forfeit them, in serving the interests of the state. In so doing the state – as represented by the government – has a duty of care, moral if not legal. But the primary body charged with scrutinising the government and bringing it to account is Parliament. Given that service personnel are unable to speak openly on their own account, Parliament thus has that special duty to look after their interests.
Unfortunately, almost without exception, where bereaved relatives have gone to their constituency MPs for aid and some succour, they have found them to be useless. For sure, they get the ritual expressions of sympathy and promises of help, but nothing ever materialises.
At another level, never has the defence committee specifically looked at the issue of mine protected vehicles, or force protection in general and, in respect of many of the substandard vehicles used or bought by the Army, the committee has actually welcomed uncritically their introduction.
Then, at the higher political level, there has been an infuriating and utterly irresponsible tendency of the opposition to use equipment deficiencies as a stick with which to beat the government, scoring political points rather than seeking to resolve problems.
To understand why this is so objectionable, one has to get past the Janet and John view of politics – the one that has the secretary of state in total control, making all the decisions and taking responsibility for everything that goes wrong.
Many former ministers will attest to how little power they actually have in office and often how difficult it is to impose even minor changes in their departments. This is especially so with the Ministry of Defence, where there are powerful vested interests, in the civil service, in the military and in the defence contractor lobby. It is rare that ministers can take on the combined weight of their own departments and win, if there is embedded an outright refusal to change. That is real life.
Here, one of the greatest allies a minister has is Parliament – both his own MPs and, especially, the opposition. While his department might seek to frustrate his wishes, when there is a strong sentiment from parliament that things should change, the hand of the minister is immeasurably strengthened. If, however, the MPs insist on turning criticism into party, partisan scoring points, that is of no help at all.
For sure, politicians are there to score points off each other, but in terms of defence – where the lives of service personnel at risk – the duty of MPs as parliamentarians should transcend party interest. Their duty to those at risk comes first. That is why, indeed, we maintain the title of "Her Majesty's loyal opposition".
In all respects, Parliament – at an individual level, with a very few honourable exceptions - has failed to step up to the plate. At an institutional level it has completely failed. This is an abject failure.
So, for want of Parliament doing its job, relatives today are rejoicing that a court of law has done it for them. In the end, we hope justice will be done, but the fact that it will have to come from the courts rather than Parliament is another – and very serious – indictment of that failing and increasingly useless institution.

The basketball program at Roger Bacon is best known for handing NBA mega-star LeBron James his only loss in a state championship game.
It was almost 11 years ago coach Bill Brewer led the Spartans past Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary for a Division II title.
Those memories live on in the halls of Roger Bacon High School, but the upsets? Those keep coming.
With its 61-53 win over No. 1 ranked Summit Country Day at Kettering's Trent Arena March 13, the Spartans are now within one win of playing in the Division III state final four.
Roger Bacon finished the year ranked No. 7 in the state AP poll, but few had coach Brian Neal's squad moving past the Silver Knights, a team that features three Division I college basketball talents.
Summit–the reigning state champ—was slayed by the Spartan Army, but Neal looks at the victory as just another game needed to reach a goal.
"I hate to be a downer, but our goal wasn't to beat Summit in the regional semifinals, and that's my biggest fear right now, Neal said. "We had some lofty goals to begin this year and beating Summit wasn't one of them. Winning a regional title was the goal, and obviously we knew we probably had to go through them to get there, but it's not over."
The Spartans came up short to Summit in last year's regional final, and getting the victory this time around was a relief for senior forward Erik Edwards, who scored 14 points.
"It feels like a heavy weight has been lifted off my chest," Edwards said "We knew they were ranked No. 1 throughout the entire year. We kind of felt we were the better team and we proved it tonight."
Roger Bacon gets Versailles in the regional final, which will be played Saturday at Trent Arena at 7 p.m.
Versailles had their own Summit problems a season ago, losing to the Silver Knights in last year's regional semifinals.
Neal said the Spartans have seen Versailles play three times this season, and Edwards said he knows Saturday's opponent can shoot the ball.
Versailles made six of its first seven shots and its first five 3-pointers in its win over Worthington.
"I know they shoot the ball, and our strong, and …we have to play our own game, and attack and play aggressive and do what we do," Edward said.
According to Neal, Edwards is playing his best basketball of the season, which bodes well for Roger Bacon's chances the rest of the way.
Edwards is averaging 10.7 points and 5.1 rebounds per game, and he does so much more.
If there's a loose ball, he has a hand on it. If there's a rebound he doesn't grab, he's in the mix, fighting for it. He the kind of player coaches' love: He's everywhere.
"Erik is playing the best basketball he's ever played and as long as that continues, we've got a great chance," Neal said.
Edwards is always a threat, but what makes Roger Bacon really dangerous is depth.
Neal always seems to have five players on the court more-than-capable of doing damage.
Carlas Jackson had 17 points in the Summit win, after scoring 27 in the district finals against Madeira.
Junior Austin Frentsos had 11 against Summit, and is averaging 12.7 points.
Fred Moore brings size (he's 6-foot-7) and skill to the paint, while senior Jake Westerfeld fills the state book with steals, rebounds and assists.
Point guard Reggie Williams scored seven points and was a clutch 5-of-5 at the free throw line against Summit, while Cody Niesen and Jake Oldfield always provide a deep threat.
"We've got some guys, if you put them on other teams, could have six or seven more points a game," Neal said. "We're going to develop every kid in our program and allow them and expect them to make plays."
With Versailles waiting in the regional finals, Neal is hoping his team can avoid the kind of letdown that sometimes happens after a huge win.
"We've got a game on Saturday and we're playing a great team," Neal said. "It's a scary proposition to be on this big high and we've got to get back to work."
