Latter Day Saints have strong member participation

By Brent Lofgren

The Itinerant Chorister this week visited the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (also known as the Mormons) at 1385 Green Road in Ann Arbor. While the Latter Day Saints can seem like a foreign religion to outsiders, their service is based around direct communication from individual members. Their choir may even be considered a farm team for the most famous church choir of them all, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Brent Lofgren is a scientist in Ann Arbor and is the author of the Itinerant Chorister series for AnnArbor.com. He also just wrote a travel article. He can be reached at itinchor@gmail.com.

Brent, Thanks for this post. I think you were able to capture the gist of the "guided by the Spirit, and, from the heart" way in which we worship in our Church. Thanks for communicating that so well. And thanks for accepting my invitation, and not blowing me off when I first contacted you. :) -Sid
