Hi, I'm Daniel

I'm a writer. I'm a manager. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I'm in my mid-twenties, married with a young daughter and another something on the way. I spend whatever little spare time I can writing short stories and articles, while theoretically working on a novel. I work in a call centre as a manager where, I hope, I make a difference in people's lives even on a small scale.

Why I am a Mormon

I came first came to church as a way to spend more time with my now wife. But as I spent more and more time listening to the teachings of the church and discussing doctrine I found myself sending more time not only wife my wife but also with my God.
I joined the church because it just made sense to me and because, kneeling in prayer, I received a testimony of the truthfulness of what I had been taught

Personal Stories

Why do Mormons do family history or genealogy work?

Latter-day Saints believe that this life is only a small part of existence that extends from before birth and into the eternities. As part of this, we believe that the family is the primary form of organisation and continues on past death.
Doing genealogical work allows us to find our family and - through temple work - to be sealed together with our family beyond this life.

How I live my faith

I act as a secretary in one of the local priesthood groups and run family history classes for my local church community.

Do Mormons worship Joseph Smith?

Daniel answered...

No.Whilst the first prophet of the new dispensation is held in high regard and honoured for his contribution to restoring the gospel, he is not seen as deity or worshiped as an individual.
Joesph Smith is like the Mormon Mohammad: a critical figure the church rests upon, but ultimately the servant of the Lord in leading His church.

No, but we respect him, just as we would any prophet.

What is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' attitude regarding homosexuality and same sex marriage?

Miriam answered...

We believe that all sexual activity should be reserved for marriage and that marriage should be between a man and a woman.

We do not deny anyone the right to choose. Hate has no place in our church.
