We seek consensus about the Book of Mormon. Joseph F. Smith wrote, "If you have built for a man a better house than his own, and he is willing to accept yours and forsake his, then, and not till then, should you proceed to tear down the old structure. Rotten though it may be it will require some time for it to lose all its charms and fond memories of its former occupant. Therefore let him, not you, proceed to tear it away. Kindness and courtesy are the primal elements of gentility."
Just a brief note to recognize Tom Mackay, who was my most memorable Greek teacher when I was at BYU. He passed away a few weeks ago. My last communication with him was a few years ago, but he was one of those people you never forget despite elapsed time.
Here's his obituary:
