With today's cover, we are starting a new feature on Meridian, inviting our readers to see some of the film clips on YouTube about the Church.
Some of these clips will be funny, some moving. Some will be professional quality and some the creative inventions of Latter-day Saints who are working out of their basements. All will give you two to five minutes of fun. We'll search YouTube for the very best clips on the Church, to bring you via Meridian Magazine.
There's a reason for this. Certain categories like “Mormon” and “Mormonism” are populated with anti-Mormon films. The rankings of those films are based on viewership.
By inviting our many Meridian readers to see these films that put the Church in its true light, the rankings of the good films will begin to rise. So enjoy the films while you are playing a role in making the Internet a friendlier place for the Church.
