A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON MY WAY TO THE TEMPLE: A STORY ABOUT MORMONS AND JEWS, AND BECOMING BOTH, PART ONE: BEING MORMON

During his many years as one of Mormonism’s and Utah’s best-loved poets, essayists, and columnists, Clifton Jolley was unfailingly interesting. Blessed with piercing intelligence, a wry sense of humor, and a radar always tuned to finding life’s wonderful ironies, Clifton has never been afraid to share what’s on his mind. In this session, he will share his “Mormon story,” reflecting on spiritual touchstones, the people and ideas he loves, and the events and forces which led him toward his eventual conversion to Judaism. Tender, affectionate, whimsical, a tale of a man’s heart and loves that have left indelible traces, you won’t want to miss this story!
