![]() Take a moment to notice the fabric of the clothes you are wearing. The whole process appeared very challenging to me, but I found myself wanting to try it out sometime. In preparation for this talk I watched a few video tutorials on hand-knitting, supposedly for beginners. As each row is formed, each newly created loop is pulled through one or more loops from the prior row and placed on the gaining needle so that the loops from the prior row can be pulled off the other needle without unraveling.ĭifferences in yarn (varying in fibre type, weight, uniformity and twist), needle size, and stitch type allow for a variety of knitted fabrics with different properties, including color, texture, thickness, heat retention, water resistance, and integrity. Knitted fabric consists of a number of consecutive rows of connected loops that intermesh with the next and previous rows. Knitting is a method by which yarn is manipulated to create a textile or fabric. As I read it, see how far you can take the metaphor of knitting to human relationships and communities: Here's a short description of knitting, from wikipedia. This verse is the only usage of the verb 'KNIT' in The Book of Mormon. ![]() I see this phrase ("Hearts Knit Together in Unity") as a perfect description of a Zion people: Mosiah 18:21Ģ1 And commanded them that there should be no contention one with another, but that they should look forward with one eye, having one faith and one baptism, having their hearts knit together in unity and in love one towards another. My talk today is actually not about the articles of faith, but I think they have helped set the stage very effectively for my actual topic: "Hearts Knit Together in Unity" (from Mosiah 18:21 in The Book of Mormon) We are helping to gather Israel, on both sides of the veil. Speaking in italian musical terms, the tenth article of faith is grandioso, sempre crescendo e accelerando-it just keeps getting better and better! We, as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the year 2021, find ourselves living out the beginning of this tenth article of faith. What kind of music would adequately describe the literal gathering of Israel, the establishment of Zion, Christ reigning personally on the earth, and the earth receiving paradisiacal glory? I'll ask you the question I've been asking myself for a few months now: All that God will yet reveal, even many great and important things pertaining to His KingdomĪll of this is so wonderful, but I have a problem: I'm stuck on the music for the 10th Article of Faith.We have access to scriptures and continuing revelation:.The same Church Jesus Christ established has been restored.God calls prophets and others to preach the gospel and administer in ordinances.We can enter the covenant path by exercising Faith, Repenting, being Baptized and receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost.The Holy Ghost personally delivers some of the most amazing gifts God can give us in mortality!.The first nine Articles of Faith establish the most fundamental truths, principles and ordinances of our faith-most important among these is that through the Atonement of Christ, all of us may be saved! Indeed, this week's "Come, Follow Me" reading from D&C 76 teaches that by virtue of choosing Heavenly Father's plan and coming to earth we will all be resurrected to a kingdom of glory in the next life! Here are a few other treasured tenets of our faith found in the 13 articles: I see divine design in their organization and sequencing. Doing so has been a wonderful experience and has made the Articles of Faith come alive for me. So far I've finished my own arrangements of the first nine Articles of Faith. A few years ago I started composing my own musical settings of The Articles of Faith with the goal of trying to write music that really compliments the text and bears my own testimony of these truths. In the last few years I've discovered great meaning in composing music as a way to bear my testimony. These words have no common meter or rhyming scheme, but I can still sing any and all of them on cue! She accomplished something amazing in composing singable music for words that were probably never intended to be sung. It was then that I learned all thirteen with the help of the corresponding primary songs composed by Vanja Watkins. ![]() Ever since my childhood I have loved The Articles of Faith.
