| Introduction | Rhys Stephens, a student in Utah State University's Department of Journalism and Communication, was raised by his Mormon parents on the East Coast of the United States. Despite his LDS upbringing, Stephens doesn't adhere to any particular creed. He has studied both eastern and western philosophies and religions. From a synagogue in Pittsburgh to Anglican services in the Brecon Cathedral of Talybont-on-Usk, Wales, Stephens has attended a variety of congregations. He also played bass guitar in a gospel band for the Bethel A.M.E. Church of Carlisle, Pa. and Shiloh Baptist Church of York, Pa. |
| Interests | This site is dedicated to spotlighting the varying faiths, philosophies and perspectives that exist within the Cache Valley area of Utah. Although The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the predominant religion in the area, this blog seeks to broaden the perspectives of local residents by showcasing denominations and ways of life other than just the Mormon church. |
