Only a limited number of papers and panels will be accepted this year. Please get your proposals in early. Confirmation that we received your proposal will arrive via email by February 22, 2021. Acceptance notices will be sent out via email the last week of March.
We invite proposals that amplify and develop ideas inspired by the theme for this year’s Salt Lake Symposium. Submissions will be determined at Sunstone’s discretion to fill either a 60-minute or 90-minute time slot.
Submissions will be accepted according the following criteria:
-
Relevance to the theme Unprecedented Mormonism.
Does the content reflect the values of our Mission Statement to host an open forum, expresses rich spiritual, intellectual, social, and artistic qualities of Mormon history and contemporary life with responsible and respectful interchange?
Does it bring value to our symposium? Is it thoughtful/substantive?
ABOUT SUBMITTING PROPOSALS:
In order to receive first-round consideration, proposals should be received on or before 1 March 2021.
Incomplete or late proposals will be considered on a time/space-available basis. Sessions will be accepted according to standards of excellence in scholarship, thought, and expression.
If you have any questions please email our Events Manager Grace Pool at Grace@Sunstone.org
Submissions for the 2021 Sunstone Summer Symposium are open! Complete the form below to submit your proposal.
Submitting Proposals for Regional Conferences and Other Events
If you would like to submit a proposal for one of our events (not the Salt Lake Summer Symposium), please email Grace Pool at Grace@Sunstone.org
Regional events function in a different way than the Salt Lake Summer Symposium. They are smaller, more casual gatherings around the world and much of the program content is curated. If you would like to propose an idea, please do so by email.
EMAILS MUST INCLUDE:
Subject line of email: Proposal for [title and date of] Conference
Body of email: Must contain abstract of presentation, proposed presentation time, bio and contact info for all presenters.
To submit an ad or an article to be published by Sunstone, please review our Ads and Submissions page here.
Do you accept submissions for publication? I have a 4,875 word essay, the subject is Reconciling Science and religion, from the LDS perspective. Its a ground breaking work that has been over forty years in the making. 435-623-4725
Do you have any locations or dates as yet for regional conferences?
I am interested in doing a paper which called: “God, the Latter-day Saints and the LBGT community”. Subtitle: does God love everyone
Scriptures referenced include but are not limited to:
Mark 7: 5-13
John 8: 4-7
Duet 32: 20 et al
Rom 3:
Ellen DeGenerous, Mayor Pete, Juliette Binoche etc.
Unfortunately I have missed the deadlines for the summer meeting, but if you are interested in the topic, I am sure some future meeting would do for presentation.
Would you happen to know the date of the Sunstone Symposium in Short-Creek (Colorado City), Southern Utah, for 2020?
Thank you.
As pertaining to the final grief
1 Corinthians 15:26 “The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death”
Albeit, Jehovah (as a spirit being) set the bounds for death (for mortals) and its perimeters while in full control of its outcome of every creature
Adam was allocated 930 yrs for his assigned probation (Gen 5:5)
But mans disobedience angered the Lord and and He re-allocated the time for man at 120yrs (Gen 6.6)
And in King Davids genealogy the Lord decreed the life of mans limits to be 3 score and ten while time beyond that time would
be according to His desires.
God does not accord time as man sees time for time is no more according to man as to the final Book (Rev 10:6)
This was all done prior to the Atonement which ushered in immortality
Everything was portioned before we came here and this sphere that we inhabit for the sojourn will likewise have its demise and resurrection.
You see there was no devil or satan to tempt Lucifer to do evil in the Pre-Ex, he had access to that which was done on other worlds and acted upon those former designs to enact his evil plan which would forfeit his own immortality…tbc
