LDS Quotes

I have set in electronic form two collections of LDS (Mormon) quotes I obtained from faculty at BYU. Both are large, unbiased collections.

• LDS (Mormon) quotes about evolution.
• LDS quotes about birth control.

The definitive site for quotes and information on LDS doctrine and evolution is the Eyring-L Evolution Archive, associated with the email list of the same name. A decent list of historical "official" older statements (unfortunately not including the official policy, which is found in the Church Handbook of Instructions) can be found at Mormons.org's birth control site.

Looking for general LDS information? Clark Goble maintains the LDS Internet Resources FAQ, a comprehensive list of practically everything out there on the web regarding Mormonism, the church and its culture.
