This year’s symposium takes place one week before the first anniversary of the passing of Eugene England, founder of Dialogue, supporter of Sunstone, champion of Mormon writers, scholar, essayist, peacemaker, and fond friend of so many. Since his death, many have had the opportunity to share thoughts and memories of Gene in special issues of several LDS publications, but chances to tell stories and remember him in a communal setting have been rare. Please bring along your favorite memory as we celebrate the life and legacy of one of Mormonism’s eternal optimists!
