University of Manchester Mormons

The University of Manchester LDSSA Society, as it is known, is chaired by Leah Smith, a second year history student originally from the York England Stake. Its secretary is Rochelle Hadley, a second year politics student from Birmingham, and its treasurer is Robyn Wilkinson, a first year student of mental health nursing from Cheshire.

On the day the LDSSA was launched, Leah explained: "It's a really exciting day for the LDSSA. We hope to offer an opportunity for all LDS students to get together and also to attract many new friends. And as we saw today at the fair, lots of people don't know who the Mormons are and so we can help to share our beliefs and get rid of misconceptions."

Another goal the LDSSA hopes to achieve is increased unity among LDS students. Nearly two-thirds of those enrolled in the Manchester Institute of Religion are university students, and more than half of those are living away from home and this can be difficult. The LDSSA is well-placed to offer essential support.

The University of Manchester can trace a long tradition of excellence back to 1824 with the creation of Manchester Mechanics' Institute. The Victoria University of Manchester was founded as Owens College in 1851. After 100 years, the two academies formally combined in October 2004, forming the University of Manchester. The institution now ranks third in the United Kingdom for research behind only Oxford and Cambridge.

In their homelands, the materialistic doctrine was the doctrine of their government, and the whole educational system accordingly was atheistically defined. The desire of the people of the eastern countries was for freedom, truth and justice, and their longing for something better, more noble and more beautiful was great.

"We had a classroom in the church overflowing with bags of donations," she said. "In only an hour, all the goods had been sorted, folded, boxed and repacked."
