"Such a Time as This" remarks from Cynthia Bailey Lee

November 9, 2014

Cynthia Bailey Lee was asked to give the faculty address at Stanford’s annual LDS Convocation, held in Stanford Memorial Church. Click here for the text of her remarks.

Here is a snippet: “You may be wondering why I consider this a particularly Mormon moral obligation. My inspiration for this talk comes from the temple. For our guests, I will explain that when we enter that Holy house, we are each given a small slip of paper bearing the name of a deceased person, often one of our own cherished ancestors. In a room on earth where they can no longer be, we say on their behalf the words they can no longer say.”
