Church History Department recruiting

The Church History Department is having a career day on October 6, 2022. 

They are all great people who do a phenomenal job researching, compiling, and presenting Church history in all its facets. I encourage anyone interested to sign up and seriously consider employment there.

The sign-up link is here:

This time around, I hope they hire some people who offer different perspectives, particularly people who will emphasize the credibility and reliability of Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery. Unfortunately, the editorial content so far has been driven by seeking to accommodate modern theories about the translation of the Book of Mormon and Book of Mormon geography/historicity.

For an example of what I'm referring to, see my short paper here:
