From Deseret News archives:
Utah's top religion stories of 2004
LDS general conference protest zones, for example. Salt Lake City and street preachers spent most of 2004 battling in court after the city limited the preachers to special buffer zones. The impetus: an October 2003 scuffle between protesters and conferencegoers involving religious attire.
Among Utah's top religion stories of 2004, as chosen by the Deseret Morning News religion and ethics team:
A federal judge rules that buffer zones created by Salt Lake leaders to keep the peace during The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' semiannual conferences are constitutional.

The Rev. Ravi Zacharias becomes the first internationally renowned evangelical to speak in the LDS Tabernacle since 1899.
Sister Marjorie Hinckley dies at age 92 after almost 67 years of marriage to LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley.

The LDS Church announces it will build a temple in Draper, its third in the Salt Lake Valley.
LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley receives a Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civil honor.
A federal judge rules that a Ten Commandments display in a Duchesne city park on an island of privately owned land within Roy Park is constitutional.
