In 2001, the Dalai Lama spent four days charming and enlightening various groups in Utah, speaking at hospitals, Symphony Hall, the University of Utah and to the state's close-knit Tibetan Buddhist community. His laugh was unforgettable. Here he is at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Salt Lake City.

In October 2012, the LDS Church lowered its missionary age for young women from 21 to 19, which triggered a surge in "sister missionaries." We profiled the new missionaries and how the Missionary Training Center in Provo was coping with the female onslaught, among other issues.

At a Bahai wedding in Red Butte Garden, no bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girls or parents preceded the wedding couple down the aisle. No father of the bride handed her off to her future mate. No white-collared clergy waited at an altar to marry the couple. There are no religious requirements, other than agreeing to a single statement ó "We will all, verily, abide by the will of Godî ó before two witnesses.
