Much of classical philosophy can feel out-of-touch, given that the authors often lived lives of luxury. A more recent philosophy, called the ethics of care, stems from the human instinct to take care of each other. This article by Hinckley A. Jones-Sanpei suggests that the ethics of care works in harmony with the gospel of Jesus Christ.…

"So, was there anything you just couldn't find there?" I asked the newly returned missionary. He had been home from Guatemala for a few months, and I would be leaving for the same country soon. "Balloons," he said. It was my turn to look puzzled. Why would a missionary need balloons?

Latter-day Saints have commonly abbreviated the narrative of the restoration of the priesthood by associating the Aaronic Priesthood with John the Baptist and the Melchizedek Priesthood with Peter, James, and John.
