Hi I'm Mark Manning

About Me

I have lived in the UK all my life. I love spending time with my family, visiting exhibitions, developing design work and performing magic tricks (very badly). I currently work as an architect.

Why I am a Mormon

My Grandparents on both sides joined the Church many years ago and taught my parents about faith in Christ and other principles of the gospel. I will be forever indebted to them for their kindness and giving me the space and opportunity to find out for myself that there is a God and that He cares for us all. The Church has given me the chance to do more good and to become a better father and husband.

How I live my faith

I try to be true to the promises I made when I joined the church 24 years ago. I have the privilege of working with youth aged 12-18 who are a real inspiration in striving to keep the commandments.

What do Mormons believe happens to us after we die? What do Mormons believe about life after death?
Dave. answered...

We believe that everyone, regardless of the kind of life they live, will live again through resurrection just as Jesus Christ does. But our bodies will no longer be subject to death, disease and other infirmities that are challenges of this life. This is particularly important to our family because our youngest child is severely handicapped. He is a great blessing in our lives, but we look forward with hope to the day when he will be freed from his disability. This is what Christ meant when he said that all men would be saved -- saved from death and the conditions of this mortal life. We also believe that once resurrected, we will be accountable for how we lived our lives and be judged by the standard of His teachings -- which all men and women will eventually have the opportunity to accept or reject. Therefore, learning of Christ and developing faith in Him enough to follow Him leads to a salvation that depends both on our works and His grace. That salvation can ultimately mean living in His presence together with our families. Show more Show less

I know that death is not the end. My son, Aaron, died suddenly at age 30. He came to me while I was in the Temple and told me that he was happy where he was at in heaven and to not grieve for him. It must be the happiest place ever because he left a baby son and a wife of 18 months behind here on earth,--for him to say that he was happy. We believe that we will be together after this life with our loved ones and that earth is a school for us to learn and grow. We are here to try to become more like our Savior, Jesus Christ and will continue to progress after we die. Show more Show less
