Mormonism is much in the news, from Mitt Romney's presidential bid to debates over California's gay marriage ban. How does the history of Mormonism – including but not limited to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints – help us better understand current controversies? John-Charles Duffy from UNC Chapel Hill discusses "Latter-day Headlines: History Behind Recent Mormon Controversies."

Free to attend. Offered in partnership with the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library.
