Request for Help with the Scriptures

I was asked to post the following announcement regarding the Restoration Edition Scriptures:

This coming Monday the 25th, PDFs of the final scriptures texts will be sent to the printers for the leather scriptures. We have scoured them, but both our human eyes and spellcheck have likely missed something. We are requesting that anyone who thinks they know of an error in the text of our scriptures (typos, a word, formatting, etc.) send us an email with the details at restorationscriptures2017@gmail.com.

We need this information no later than the end of the day tomorrow, Saturday, November 23, 2019. This is very last minute, but it never hurts to ask. We're excited to finally put the text to bed.

This announcement is also up at Scriptures.info, under the Announcements section.

Native American Heritage Month Presentation

In honor of Native American Heritage Month, Dr. Quintina Adolpho and her husband Robert, will give two presentations this Wednesday at Utah Valley University.

The first is a talk about uncovering symbolism behind commonly overlooked cultural accouterments, such as: headdress, tipi, sweat lodge, and vision quest. This lecture is an effort to provide a stage to understand Native culture against the background of wisdom texts, ancient temple symbols, and patterns of ascent.

The second presentation will build on information from the first, focusing on reconnecting stories and ceremonies.

I have heard Quintina and Rob present on multiple occasions, and once even shared a stage with them. Based on those experiences, I'm quite certain these presentations will be outstanding.
