Oops, looks like BYU’s Daily Universe made a little boo-boo in the caption, upgrading the Quorum of the twelve to “apostate” status. Hat tip Miguel. BYU News Net explains the error here.

According to the philosopher Mircea Eliade, of whose work I learned at BYU, every community, tribe, or nation requires an origin myth. The account of a community’s or practice’s origin has far reaching consequences because it implies how they relate to the cosmos, which is necessary for human beings to…

    They’re only speaking the truth. Not one of them has more than a single wife. Disgraceful! 😉

    lol, good point! 😉

    The article is pretty funny too. I can’t tell if these folks are kidding or not:

    Hillary Miller, a media arts major from Arcadia, Calif., was concerned about the situation. “I hope someone isn’t just fooling around,” she said. “It would be sad if someone was trying to do harm to our church.”

    Sorry, a spelling error in a photo caption can “harm your church”? Wha…?

    My favourite quote was,

    We are reprinting the paper and we will have the corrected version back on the racks by mid-afternoon,” Rawlins said. “This shows the deep concern we have on the matter. We don’t think this error is glib or cute or humorous. We understand people will take offense to the error. We ourselves are offended as a department for this error. We have a deep regret that it appeared in today’s paper.

    Can’t wait to see what the Student Review does with this. Should be a hoot.

    I’m guessing a crossword puzzle in which all the correct answers are all ungodly typos of the apostle/apostate variety.

    Christopher — I don’t doubt it! 😀

    Chino — So true! Actually, I’m on the SR alums mailing list, and they’re making jokes about possible alternate quorums (quora?), eg. the Quorum of the Twelve Pastas, etc. 😉

    I do. (Think it’s cute and humorous, I mean. I don’t know where that “glib” came from.)
