We particularly encourage submissions on this year\u2019s theme.<\/p>\n<p>While claiming exclusive authority, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints also takes a strikingly inclusive view of other religious traditions as loci of revealed truth and of God\u2019s work. For example, in <a href=\"http:\/\/feastupontheword.org\/2_Ne_29:6-10\">2 Nephi 29:7<\/a> God says, &#8220;I bring forth my word unto the children of men, yea, even upon all nations of the earth.&#8221; We will explore the contours and implications of distinctively Mormon views of pluralism, as well as the particular questions for pluralism raised by the LDS church.<\/p>\n<p>Possible topics falling under this theme include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Holy Spirit\u2019s work in differing spiritual traditions<\/li>\n<li>Cooperation between religious groups<\/li>\n<li>Interreligious dialogue<\/li>\n<li>The place of pluralism within the church<\/li>\n<li>Missionary work and respect for other faiths<\/li>\n<li>Differences in teaching and\/or practice within or among distinct historical dispensations (e.g. Adamic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Lehitic)<\/li>\n<li>The relationship of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to other Christian denominations<\/li>\n<li>Comparative theology<\/li>\n<li>Analysis of LDS texts on religious pluralism\u2014e.g. <a href=\"http:\/\/feastupontheword.org\/Jacob_5:1-5\">Jacob 5<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/feastupontheword.org\/Second_Nephi_29:1-5\">2 Nephi 29<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/feastupontheword.org\/Alma_29:1-5\">Alma 29<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Implications of continuing revelation for religious pluralism<\/li>\n<li>The role of religion in public life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Authors may submit either (a) a full paper, or (b) a pr\u00e9cis:<\/p>\n<p>(a) Papers should be suitable for a reading time of 25\u201330 minutes (3500 words maximum). Longer papers may be submitted in full, with the understanding that they will be revised for presentation.<br \/>\n(b) A pr\u00e9cis should be about 1000 words in length, and summarize the argument of the paper.<\/p>\n<p>Please send submissions by email attachment in RTF, PDF, or MS Word format to Benjamin Huff at BENJAMINHUFF@RMC.EDU. Include author\u2019s full name, contact information, title, and word count for the paper or pr\u00e9cis.<\/p>\n<p>The Society welcomes submissions by students. At least one program slot is set aside for an outstanding student paper.
