The LDS Church and Public Engagement
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Asbury Theological Seminary The LDS Church and Public Engagement: Polemics, Marginalization, Accomodation, and Transformation Dr. Roland E. Bartholomew DOI: 10.7252/Paper. 0000 44 | The LDS Church and Public Engagement: Te history of the public engagement of Te Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as the “Mormons”) is a study of their political, social, and theological shift from polemics, with the associated religious persecution and marginalization, to adjustments and accommodations that have rendered periods of dramatically favorable results. In two generations Mormonism went from being the “ultimate outcast”—its members being literally driven from the borders of the U.S. and persecuted abroad—to becoming the “embodiment of the mainstream” with members fguring prominently in government and business circles nationally and internationally; what one noted journalist has deemed “a breathtaking transformation.”1 I will argue that necessary accommodations made in Church orthodoxy and orthopraxy were not only behind the political, social, and theological “mainstream,” but also consistently outlasted their “acceptability,” as the rapidly changing world’s values outpaced these changes in Mormonism. 1830-1889: MARGINALIZATION Te frst known public engagement regarding Mormonism was when the young Joseph Smith related details regarding what has become known as his 1820 “First Vision” of the Father and the Son. He would later report that “my telling the story had excited a great deal of prejudice against me among professors of religion, and was the cause of great persecution.”2 It may seem strange that Joseph Smith should be so criticized when, in the intense revivalistic atmosphere of the time, many people claimed to have received personal spiritual manifestations, including visions.

The Mormons Are Coming- the LDS Church's
102 Mormon Historical Studies Nauvoo, Johann Schroder, oil on tin, 1859. Esplin: The Mormons are Coming 103 The Mormons Are Coming: The LDS Church’s Twentieth Century Return to Nauvoo Scott C. Esplin Traveling along Illinois’ scenic Highway 96, the modern visitor to Nauvoo steps back in time. Horse-drawn carriages pass a bustling blacksmith shop and brick furnace. Tourists stroll through manicured gardens, venturing into open doorways where missionary guides recreate life in a religious city on a bend in the Mississippi River during the mid-1840s. The picture is one of prosper- ity, presided over by a stately temple monument on a bluff overlooking the community. Within minutes, if they didn’t know it already, visitors to the area quickly learn about the Latter-day Saint founding of the City of Joseph. While portraying an image of peace, students of the history of Nauvoo know a different tale, however. Unlike other historically recreated villages across the country, this one has a dark past. For the most part, the homes, and most important the temple itself, did not peacefully pass from builder to pres- ent occupant, patiently awaiting renovation and restoration. Rather, they lay abandoned, persisting only in the memory of a people who left them in search of safety in a high mountain desert more than thirteen hundred miles away. Firmly established in the tops of the mountains, their posterity returned more than a century later to create a monument to their ancestral roots. Much of the present-day religious, political, economic, and social power of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints traces its roots to Nauvoo, Illinois.

Book Reviews 277
276 Mormon Historical Studies Book Reviews 277 BRANDON S. PLEWE, ed. Mapping Mormonism: An Atlas of Latter-day Saint History. (Provo, Utah: Brigham Young University Press, 2012, 272 pp., maps, charts, glossary, bibliography, index, $39.95 hardback.) Reviewed by Benjamin F. Tillman Mapping Mormonism is a remarkable publication that makes a distinguished and lasting contribution to Mormon studies. The atlas contains over five hundred beautifully crafted color maps, timelines, and charts that illustrate Mormonism’s unique history and geography. A treasure-trove of information, the atlas includes over ninety carefully researched and clearly written topical entries by sixty expert scholars. The atlas is organized into four sections based on historical periods and area covered: the Restoration, 1820–1845; the empire of Deseret, 1846–1910; the expanding church, 1910–present; and regional histories. This or- ganization helps the reader navigate through a vast array of information where virtually all of the important church-related topics one can imagine, and more, are mapped and charted. In addition to valuable entries on pioneer historical geographies, the reader will gain added insights from the mapping of a variety of topics including the spiritu- al environment of the Restoration, the Relief Society, agriculture and economic development in Utah, political affiliation, and Book of Mor- mon geographies. Topics with recent histories continuing to the present include church architectural styles, welfare and humanitarian aid, gene- alogy, membership distribution, temples, missionary work, and projected church growth. Likewise, regional histories of the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific detail the church’s beginnings and expansion to the present.

From Missionary Resort to Memorial Farm: Commemoration and Capitalism at the Birthplace of Joseph Smith, 1905–1925
Keith A. Erekson: Joseph Smith Memorial Farm 1905–1925 69 From Missionary Resort to Memorial Farm: Commemoration and Capitalism at the Birthplace of Joseph Smith, 1905–1925 Keith A. Erekson For The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the twentieth century was a century of commemoration. Opening with statues of Brigham Young and Joseph Smith in Salt Lake City and closing with temples in Palmyra and Nauvoo, these ten decades witnessed a flurry of activity at historic sites, from monuments and celebrations to pageants and re-enactments. During the first half of the century, LDS historic sites developed individually and displayed a wide variety of functions. A suc- cessful exhibit at the 1964 New York World’s Fair prompted Church leaders to integrate proselytizing efforts into the sites, and during the 1960s and 1970s, the tourist-drawing work of the (non-institutional but member-owned) Nauvoo Restoration Inc. demonstrated the practicality and appeal of authentic site reconstruction. The past quarter century has been marked by both proselytizing and authenticity: Church President Spencer W. Kimball addressed a general conference audience via satellite from a newly constructed Peter Whitmer Farm home in 1980, global cel- ebrations commemorated the 1997 sesquicentennial of the pioneer entry in the Salt Lake Valley, and the Church’s internet site presently adver- tises dozens of historic sites.1 The current ubiquity of historic sites belies the fact that the LDS Church has not always maintained them. When the Church purchased the birthplace of Joseph Smith a century ago, it owned only two other historic sites, and when President Joseph F.
