Listen to a new MWEG broadcast by independent historian Ardis Parshall on refugees in LDS church history, from Missouri to Turkey to Lithuania.  This is an important part of LDS history and provides some context for our efforts today.

This is also the first public broadcast of an MWEG event.  Check it out!
