  • The Secret Mormon Meetings of 1922
    University of Nevada, Reno THE SECRET MORMON MEETINGS OF 1922 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History By Shannon Caldwell Montez C. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D. / Thesis Advisor December 2019 Copyright by Shannon Caldwell Montez 2019 All Rights Reserved UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA RENO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by SHANNON CALDWELL MONTEZ entitled The Secret Mormon Meetings of 1922 be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS C. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D., Advisor Cameron B. Strang, Ph.D., Committee Member Greta E. de Jong, Ph.D., Committee Member Erin E. Stiles, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December 2019 i Abstract B. H. Roberts presented information to the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January of 1922 that fundamentally challenged the entire premise of their religious beliefs. New research shows that in addition to church leadership, this information was also presented during the neXt few months to a select group of highly educated Mormon men and women outside of church hierarchy. This group represented many aspects of Mormon belief, different areas of eXpertise, and varying approaches to dealing with challenging information. Their stories create a beautiful tapestry of Mormon life in the transition years from polygamy, frontier life, and resistance to statehood, assimilation, and respectability. A study of the people involved illuminates an important, overlooked, underappreciated, and eXciting period of Mormon history.

  • “For This Ordinance Belongeth to My House”: the Practice of Baptism for the Dead Outside the Nauvoo Temple
    Alexander L. Baugh: Baptism for the Dead Outside Temples 47 “For This Ordinance Belongeth to My House”: The Practice of Baptism for the Dead Outside the Nauvoo Temple Alexander L. Baugh The Elders’ Journal of July 1838, published in Far West, Missouri, includ- ed a series of twenty questions related to Mormonism. The answers to the questions bear the editorial pen of Joseph Smith. Question number sixteen posed the following query: “If the Mormon doctrine is true, what has become of all those who have died since the days of the apostles?” The Prophet answered, “All those who have not had an opportunity of hearing the gospel, and being administered to by an inspired man in the flesh, must have it hereafter before they can be finally judged.”1 The Prophet’s thought is clear—the dead must have someone in mortality administer the saving ordinances for them to be saved in the kingdom of God. Significantly, the answer given by the Prophet marks his first known statement concerning the doctrine of vicari- ous work for the dead. However, it was not until more than two years later that the principle was put into practice.2 On 15 August 1840, Joseph Smith preached the funeral sermon of Seymour Brunson during which time he declared for the first time the doc- trine of baptism for the dead.3 Unfortunately, there are no contemporary accounts of the Prophet’s discourse. However, Simon Baker was present at the funeral services and later stated that during the meeting the Prophet read extensively from 1 Corinthians 15, then noted a particular widow in the congregation whose son had died without baptism.

  • Fear in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and a Pathway to Reconciliation
    Fear in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a Pathway to Reconciliation Meandering Philosophy and Musings Mingled with Scripture Revision B By Tom Irvine Email: [email protected] July 4, 2020 To fear God is to have absolute reverence and awe for an Almighty God, the Creator of all things. But the fear discussed in this paper is worry and dread over potential loss or calamity. This fear can include angst regarding a pending change, even though that change may be a needed growth opportunity, or otherwise bring blessings. The fear may be deeply rooted in a person’s subconscious due to genetic predispositions or past traumatic experiences. Furthermore, fear can exist on an individual or an institutional basis. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has accomplished an immeasurable amount of good for innumerable souls by providing a faith community for like-minded people, offering disaster relief to those in distress and in so many other ways. In addition, the LDS Church provides excellent education opportunities through its BYU campuses and the BYU Pathway program. 1 But the Church has traumatized others via certain fear-based policies and unrighteous dominion. Some trauma victims leave the Church and may never return. Others are the “walking wounded” who still participate in Church for social or altruistic reasons even though their bubbles have burst, or their “shelves” have broken. This paper is neither a vindication of the Church nor an expose. Rather it is a paper that wrestles with some real and messy issues with the hopes that some mutual understanding and peaceful reconciliation can be achieved.

  • President's Message
    12 10 number ISSUE 134 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE TABLE OF CONTENTS KUDOS TO THE HURRICANE VALLEY CHAPTER FOR HOSTING A SUPERB CONVENTION! From the moment we arrived at the Stake Center in Hurricane we were warmly greeted and pointed in the direction of a registration area organized according to alphabet sections for “no wait” efficiency. A look into the cultural hall revealed walls that had been adorned with pictorial histories of the communities in Hurricane Valley. Tables were set and beautifully decorated for the evening meal. The food throughout the convention was tasty, especially the delicious prime rib served at the concluding banquet on Saturday. Rave reviews were received from patrons of all three tours that were offered with the transportation organized to function in perfect sequence. Hosts on the buses entertained with stories of pioneering development in the local communities. Evening entertainment was of Broadway quality and had us as the audience clapping hands and tapping feet in rhythm with the music. The talent displayed on both nights was jaw dropping! Elder Gerald Lund’s concluding address was masterfully tailored to the Convention theme: “Moving Our Heritage Forward.” Conclusion: The folks in Hurricane really know how to host a memorable National Convention! Congratulations Hurricane - You do us PROUD!! (Continued On Following Page) 1 OCTOBER 2016 (Continued From Previous Page) 2016 PRESIDENTIAL AWARD FOR MERITORIOUS SERVICE PRESENTED TO JAY SMITH.

  • The Search for Truth and Meaning in Mormon Histor Y
    THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH AND MEANING IN MORMON HISTOR Y Leonard /. Arrington Leonard J. Arrington is Professor of Economics at Utah State University and an Advisory Editor to DIALOGUE. He was the first president of the Mormon History Association and is the author of GREAT BASIN KINGDOM, as well as numerous other books and articles.. Professor Arrington presented this paper at the third annual DIALOGUE Board of Editors dinner in Salt Lake City on April 5th. The philosopher Plato, to whom dialogue was the highest expression of intellectuality, denned thought as "the dialogue of the soul with itself." It is thus altogether fitting that the editors of Dialogue should encourage Mormon scholars to conduct periodic soul-searchings in regard to the relevance of their studies to the Gospel. I am grateful for this opportunity of reappraising Mor- mon history and of relating historical studies to the Church and its historic mission of building the Kingdom of God on earth. I From its very inception The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sought to leave an accurate and complete record of its history. On April 6, 1830, the date of the organization of the Church, a revelation was given to ARRINGTON: Truth and Meaning in Mormon History 157 Joseph Smith which began "Behold, there shall be a record kept among you . "x To accomplish this purpose the Second Elder of the Church, Oliver Cowdery, was selected to serve as Church Recorder. When Elder Cowdery was transferred to other work a year later, John Whitmer was appointed, by revela- tion, to "write and keep a regular history."2 Whitmer served in this capacity until 1835, and wrote a brief manuscript narrative, which is now in the posses- sion of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.3 Thus, from the earliest years the Church designated an official to record its story and preserve its records.
