I’m not going to have a chance to check it out today. I’m taking the kids to the pool in a little while and, on the topic of race, I’m going to try to go to a fireside tonight at our stake center where Marvin Perkins will be speaking. I’m also not sure if I want to get into another discussion on the issue anyway. Not sure what is meant specifically by turning towards academic freedom as it relates to the church. I may check it out and see what’s going on but I doubt I will join in.

There was an interesting discussion on Academic Freedom at Mormon Matters. Around Comment 50, Margaret Young stepped in and the conversation turned more towards race. There were some really interesting quotes from Abraham Lincoln, especially around comments 71-100, and 112. So, Tara, I'm interested if you think the more recent turn towards academic freedom is a good or bad thing. Perhaps you could answer over there? Also, have you seen Margaret Young's DVD?

John Dehlin has brought his podcast out of retirement. Much of the audio is what I have transcribed above (but not all) from his interview with Darius Gray and Margaret Young . For an interesting screencast, check out some slides and audio at http://mormonstories.org/blacksandtheldspriesthood/
