  • The Story of Early Mormonism in Philadelphia
    Stephen J. Fleming: Discord in Early Philadelphia 3 Discord in the City of Brotherly Love: The Story of Early Mormonism in Philadelphia Stephen J. Fleming Although a handful of visits to Philadelphia were made throughout the 1830s, Mormon proselyting began there in earnest in 1839. This endeavor was part of a larger proselyting effort that had begun a year earlier through- out the counties surrounding Philadelphia. Lorenzo Barnes and Elisha Davis had met with great success in nearby Chester County, Pennsylvania, and Benjamin Winchester had also made numerous converts in central New Jersey.1 The next summer, Winchester began proselytizing in Philadelphia. At first, he “was ridiculed on almost ev[e]ry occasion when I enquired for a house” to preach in, yet he persevered. Winchester finally found a hall and “a crowded congregation attended the meeting.” After Winchester preached there about a dozen times, he debated with a Presbyterian minister, “which was the means of doing much good. By this time there was quite an excite- ment, and the former prejudices of the people seemed in part removed.” Winchester baptized several in Philadelphia, “and I feel myself authorized to say that the work of the Lord is gaining ground, in this city: and I trust that it will still roll on.”2 Joseph Smith’s visit to the area on his way to Washington, D.C., in the winter of 1839–40 spurred further growth of Mormonism in the area. A local newspaper reported that the Prophet “visited New Egypt, Hornerstown, and Toms River [New Jersey] and sealed a large number to the church.”3 Joseph also established branches in Philadelphia and Chester County, STEPHEN J.

Morgan n a bittersweet ceremony on January 29, 2013, Elder Daniel L. Johnson, Ia member of the Seventy and President of the Mexico Area, announced the transformation of Benemérito de las Américas, a Church-owned high school in Mexico City, into a missionary training center at the end of the school year.1 To the emotional students and faculty at the meet- ing, Elders Russell M. Nelson and Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve explained the urgent need to provide additional facilities for missionary training in the wake of President Thomas S. Monson’s announcement that minimum ages for missionary service were being lowered and the consequent upsurge in numbers.2 While The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has owned and operated other schools, this school was unique in the expansive role it played in Mexi- can Church history.

  • Church Officers, 1839–1843
    Ecclesiastical Officers and Church Appointees Th e following charts show the general leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as local ecclesiastical offi cers in Nauvoo, Illinois, between 1839 and April 1843. Th e charts also identify the temple recorder and members of the Nauvoo temple committee and Nauvoo House Association. Readers wishing to conduct further research may consult the documented organizational charts posted on the Joseph Smith Papers website. FIRST PRESIDENCY, QUORUM OF THE TWELVE, AND PATRIARCH Th e following chart shows the members of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, as well as the church patriarch, with their dates of service. By 1839 the titles and offi ces of the First Presidency, which had varied in earlier years, were relatively stable, consisting of a president and two counselors; fl exibility in its organization is evident, however, in positions held by Hyrum Smith, Amasa Lyman, and John C. Bennett. Th e responsibilities of the members of the Quorum of the Twelve, whose duties had been prose- lytizing and overseeing scattered branches of the church, expanded in Nauvoo as they took on signifi cant administrative tasks. After the deaths of JS and Hyrum Smith on 27 June 1844, the First Presidency dissolved and the Quorum of the Twelve presided over the church until Brigham Young was sustained as church president in December 1847. For more information on the following individuals’ terms of service, see the Biographical Directory in this volume. OFFICE 1839 1840 1841 1842 1843 First Presidency: Joseph Smith Jr.

  • Conferences and Councils in Early Church Government 27
    Book of Commandments and Revelations, page 56, Joseph Smith Papers, Church History Library, Salt Lake City, Utah. The above text, taken from a revelation dated April 10, 1830, identified as the Articles and Covenants of the Church, contains instructions directing the Church to “meet in conference once in three months or from time to time as they shall direct or appoint”(D&C 20:61). Darowski: Conferences and Councils in Early Church Government 27 Seeking After the Ancient Order: Conferences and Councils in Early Church Governance, 1830–1834 Joseph F. Darowski As I reviewed the record of council minutes for 1833 in Minute Book 1 (Kirtland Council Minute Book) for future inclusion in the Joseph Smith Papers series, it became apparent that conferences and councils were rou- tinely used to resolve administrative matters and problems facing the early Church, especially before 1834, when the first Church high council was es- tablished at Kirtland. As I immersed myself in the question of exactly what role Church conferences and councils played in the Church, I discovered three things. First, an appraisal of the minutes of the quarterly meetings held during the first years of the Church’s existence as an institution reveals not a narrow hierarchical leadership, but a shared, even symbiotic, collaboration. This rela- tionship remained the essence of the genius of Church organization and struc- ture throughout the lifetime of Joseph Smith. Second, it was interesting to discover that Joseph Smith was not always as prominent a participant as might be expected. I had previously labored under the assumption that Joseph Smith primarily governed the early Church through the power of his charismatic per- sonality and priesthood authority, sanctioned by revelatory endorsement from on high.

  • FOR Long Enough the Question of the Teaching Office of the Church
    The Teaching Office of the Church* BY COLIN BROWN OR long enough the question of the teaching office of the church F has simmered gently in the background of ecumenical discussion. At the end of July 1968 it was brought back to boiling point by no one less than the Pope himself with his Encyclical Humanae Vitae. What interests us here is not that the Pope decided against all artificial means of birth control. The point would be just as crucial if he had decided for them. Nor is it that the Pope spoke out on the subject­ for Christian ministers have a right and duty to speak out on any issue which seriously affects the lives of the people to whom they minister. The burning issue for the Protestant is the way in which the Pope spoke and the kind of authority which is claimed for his teaching. Consequently, now that We have sifted carefully the evidence sent to Us and intently studied the whole matter, as well as prayed constantly to God, We, by virtue of the mandate entrusted to Us by Christ, intend to give Our reply to this series of grave questions (§ 6). The point is brought out by the formula introducing the papal judgment and by the comments towards the end defending its rigour. In the former case the Pope has pointed out that he has found it necessary to override the views of the commission instituted by his predecessor. He then expresses the authority for his teaching. 1 This affirmation of papal authority is amplified and counterbalanced in the passage towards the end which reaffirms the authority of the Church, however unpopular its teachings.

Oman* On the evening of September 9, 1831, two men arrived in the small county seat of Jacksonville, Illinois. It was court day, and "there were a great many country people in the village." 1 Some no doubt had come to settle disputes before the state's travelling judiciary. Illinois law required that all members of the state supreme court hold a circuit court in each county seat at least twice a year. 2 In their wake came the lawyers who "rode circuit" with the judges, picking up clients at the local tavern3 and hurriedly conferring with them before rising to make their arguments about this man's failure * Assistant Professor, William & Mary Law School.

  • The Theology of Councils
    The Theology of Councils Richard L. Bushman Truman Madsen and I have long shared an interest in Joseph Smith. His writings and tapes on the Prophet have affected thousands of people. Time and again when I say I am writing a biography of Joseph Smith, I am asked if I have read Truman Madsen’s works about Joseph. Fortunately, on this particular topic there is plenty to go around. Joseph’s thoughts, his character, his work, his struggles confound our attempts to fully comprehend them. For example, although I have long been familiar with Joseph’s achievements, I was surprised to nd how much attention he paid to church organization. Joseph has so long been thought of as a “dreamy visionary” who needed a Brigham Young to whip a vital but inchoate movement into shape that Joseph’s involvement in church structure may come as a surprise. After examining this dimension of the Prophet’s work, I am now inclined to consider Joseph the “organizer” and Brigham the “administrator” rather than to give all the organizational credit to President Young. I suppose that if Truman and I keep searching Joseph’s life, many more surprises await us. We have been content, presumably, to let Joseph originate theology and leave organization to Brigham because in our hierarchy of values, we tend to rank thought and belief above governance. We think that neglect of organization does not diminish Joseph’s achievement so long as his revelations are acknowledged as the source of doctrine. What people think and believe—their inner thoughts—are more important, we assume, than the system of governance.
