Practicing Charity
Everyday Daughters of God
Exhibit Info
This past exhibit ran from February 2014 through September 2014 at the Church History Museum. Learn more in the related content below.
Practicing charity is something we as women of God do every day. In small gestures of service, in pondering and in seeking knowledge, and in our sincere and often private expressions of faith, we live in celestial ways. Practicing charity means that we are trying to live like the Savior as we seek to act in caring ways. Even though we are not perfect, our service mirrors eternity, and our efforts manifest a deep devotion. Indeed, as everyday daughters of God, we participate in a grand work.
This exhibition also celebrates the Young Women values, which inform young women of the everyday practice of eternal principles. As women of all ages, we understand that in the daily things we do, we can come to know who we are and who we have the potential to become, and we faithfully “practice charity” each day.

Meet the Artists
The three artists selected for this exhibition—Lee Udall Bennion, Brian Kershisnik, and Kathleen Peterson—were selected because they consistently depict women as ennobled while simultaneously celebrating the importance of their everyday lives. These women are not painted as ideal or placed on a pedestal; rather, they are authentic, noble, everyday daughters of God.
