Friends, I am a believing Latter-day Saint. I am also a sociologist. Discipline and discipleship often must be reconciled and it can be challenging.
That said, I& #39;ve been struck by some of the messages that I& #39;ve heard from Latter-day Saint leaders and others in the past week.

Three beautiful sermons at the church& #39;s semiannual general conference really had some deep sociological content.
The first is @DaleGRenlund& #39;s talk "Infuriating Unfairness." https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2021/04/25renlund?lang=eng">https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/gen...

OH! There& #39;s a fourth from general conference I should mention. @StevensonGaryE& #39;s "Hearts Knit Together." https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2021/04/15stevenson?lang=eng">https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/gen...
The last is my colleague Ryan Gabriel& #39;s @BYUSpeeches devotional "Healing Racism Through Jesus Christ." https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/ryan-gabriel/healing-racism-through-jesus-christ/">https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/rya...
These beautiful sermons have convinced me further of @NelsonRussellM& #39;s injunction that "there is no conflict between science and religion. Conflict only arises from an incomplete knowledge of either science or religion, or both."
