    Latter-Day Saint Liturgy: the Administration of the Body and Blood of Jesus

    religions Article Latter-Day Saint Liturgy: The Administration of the Body and Blood of Jesus James E. Faulconer Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Latter-day Saint (“Mormon”) liturgy opens its participants to a world undefined by a stark border between the transcendent and immanent, with an emphasis on embodiment and relationality. The formal rites of the temple, and in particular that part of the rite called “the endowment”, act as a frame that erases the immanent–transcendent border. Within that frame, the more informal liturgy of the weekly administration of the blood and body of Christ, known as “the sacrament”, transforms otherwise mundane acts of living into acts of worship that sanctify life as a whole. I take a phenomenological approach, hoping that doing so will deepen interpretations that a more textually based approach might miss. Drawing on the works of Robert Orsi, Edward S. Casey, Paul Moyaert, and Nicola King, I argue that the Latter-day Saint sacrament is not merely a ritualized sign of Christ’s sacrifice. Instead, through the sacrament, Christ perdures with its participants in an act of communal memorialization by which church members incarnate the coming of the divine community of love and fellow suffering. Participants inhabit a hermeneutically transformed world as covenant children born again into the family of God. Keywords: Mormon; Latter-day Saint; liturgy; rites; sacrament; endowment; temple; memory Citation: Faulconer, James E. 2021. Latter-Day Saint Liturgy: The In 1839, in contrast to most other early nineteenth-century American religious leaders, Administration of the Body and Joseph Smith, the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints1 said, “Being Blood of Jesus.

    Route of Meriwether Lewis from Harpers Ferry, Va. to Pittsburgh, Pa. July 8 – July 15, 1803 by David T. Gilbert National Park Service Harpers Ferry, West Virginia May 5, 2003 (Revised September 28, 2015) Introduction The route which Meriwether Lewis traveled from Harpers Ferry, Virginia to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, between July 8 and July 15, 1803, has not been well documented 1. The only primary source we have is a letter Lewis penned to President Jefferson from Harpers Ferry on July 8, 1803: I shall set out myself in the course of an hour, taking the route of Charlestown, Frankfort, Uniontown and Redstone old fort to Pittsburgh, at which place I shall most probably arrive on the 15th.2 Route of Meriwether Lewis July 8-July 15, 1803 Pittsburgh R Elizabeth E V I Petersons R Brownsville Pennsylvania O I H (Redstone old fort) O Uniontown Farmington POT OMA Cumberland C R IV Grantsville E M R O Maryland Forks of N Cacapon Harpers O N Fort Ashby Ferry G Brucetown A (Frankfort) H E Gainesboro L A Winchester R I West Virginia V Charles Town E R Virginia 1. With the exception of quoted primary sources, this document uses the contemporary spelling, Harpers Ferry, and not the 19th century spelling, Harper’s Ferry. Harpers Ferry was part of Virginia until June 20, 1863, when the state of West Virginia was created by Presidential Proclamation. 2.

Yet the number of communities which failed was amazingly small.

  • The Chronology of the Mormon Battalion

    The Chronology of the Mormon Battalion

    The Chronology of the Mormon Battalion A TIMELINE OF EVENTS SURROUNDING THE MARCH OF THE MORMON BATTALION Most students of Mormon history will recall that the story of the Mormon Battalion began during the early days of the Saints’ westward trek to the Rocky Mountains. Many will also associate the end of the Battalion’s march across the Southwest to California with the discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill. However, the events leading up to the Mexican War and the dramatic results of that war on the history and geography of the United States are probably less well remembered. This chronology presents a combined timeline of LDS Church history, US history, the Mexican War, the march of the Mormon Battalion, and includes significant events following the mustering out of Battalion members. 1821 August 24 Mexico becomes independent of Spain after more than ten years of civil war. At the time, Mexico claims most of the western third of what would eventually be the continental United States, although it was sparsely settled except by Native Americans. The northern Mexican territories include Texas, Nuevo Mexico (New Mexico) and Alta California (Upper California). 1830 April 6 The Church of Jesus Christ is organized by Joseph Smith at Fayette, New York. 1836 March 2 Texas declares independence from Mexico, the result of an increasing number of American settlers who resent centralized control by the Mexican government. After several defeats at the hands of the Mexican Army, led by General Santa Anna, Sam Houston leads a surprise attack by the inexperienced Texian army against the Mexican army at San Jacinto, scoring a dramatic victory and capturing Santa Anna.
