#ldsconf LiveTweeting LDS General Conference at TempleStudy.com

General Conference live Twitter feed

General Conference live Twitter feed

In April I liveblogged LDS General Conference.  This time around I’m just going to include the streaming video feed and the Twitter stream.  Twitter is a bigger conversation of what is going on at Conference anyways.  Members around the world will be tweeting about Conference using the hashtag #ldsconf.  Feel free to join in the conversation.  (Note: If many anti-Mormons begin jeering the hashtag too much, I will filter it.)

As I did last time, I’m changing the look of the site somewhat for Conference.  The homepage, TempleStudy.com, will become the Conference page.  I’m “dimming the lights” so that the streaming video is easier to watch.  Below the video you’ll find the same auto-updating Twitter feed following comments about Conference using the #ldsconf hashtag.

I’m looking forward to hearing the Lord’s prophet and apostles speak this weekend.  Let me know if this mashup is helpful to you, or if there’s anything you’d suggest.

No Liveblogging 2009 FAIR Conference

August 2, 2009 by Bryce Haymond Leave a Comment

I was really looking forward to the 2009 FAIR Conference this week.  There are some excellent speakers and presentations scheduled, and it looks like it will be fantastic.  Unfortunately, because of certain family circumstances, I will be out of town this whole week, and will be unable to attend the conference.

I’m sorry for any inconvenience.  There may be others who are liveblogging the conference, and there is always the live web video stream that is available for $20.

Sacred Space Symposium at BYU – June 3rd, 2009

Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple

Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple

This Wednesday, June 3rd, the Richard L. Evans Chair of Religious Understanding at BYU will be sponsoring an academic symposium entitled “Sacred Space.”  The symposium will commence at 9:15 a.m. at the Gordon B. Hinckley Center at Brigham Young University, with a welcome from President Cecil O. Samuelson.  Presenters will include Terryl Givens, Richard A. Cohen, Jeanne H. Kilde, Hamid Mavani, Michael Fishbane, Steven Olsen, and Laurie Maffly-Kipp.  There will also be a panel discussion in the evening with Richard Bushman as moderator.

The symposium comes in recognition of the open house of the new Oquirrh Mountain Temple, and will discuss the idea of sacred space among several scholars of different religious backgrounds.  It should be very interesting.  I’m planning on attending.  I’m still unsure whether I will liveblog it or not.  The last time I liveblogged a BYU conference, it did not seem like there was that much interest.  Let me know if you would be interested in a liveblog.

More information, including presentation topics, can be found at the Times and Seasons blog, and this BYU News Release.
