It appears to have worked as a number of people have recently paid their dues. The latest issue of the newsletter is now available (see below).

Submitted by admin on Sun, 2008-03-30 18:56. bibliographyWhile Glenn M. Vernon was not the first sociologist to analyze Mormonism, he was arguably the first to attempt to organize the social scientific study of the LDS church into a specific field of inquiry. This 1975 text was used in his sociology of Mormonism classes at the University of Utah, and it contains a wealth of social science data on a variety of subjects. While many of the studies are dated, they give important insights into Mormon thinking and behavior in the era just before the internationalization of the faith began to accelerate. Hence, for anyone interested in the history or development of Mormon thought, Vernon's work is a veritable treasure trove.
