  • The LDS Church and the Problem of Race: Mormonism in Nigeria, 1946–1978* by D. Dmitri Hurlbut
    International Journal of African Historical Studies Vol. 51, No. 1 (2018) 1 The LDS Church and the Problem of Race: Mormonism in Nigeria, 1946–1978* By D. Dmitri Hurlbut Boston University ([email protected]) Introduction On 24 October 1946, the Office of the First Presidency, the executive triumvirate of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), received a letter from an unlikely place: Nigeria, a British colony that would gain its independence in 1960.1 Written by O.J. Umondak, an Ibibio man who lived in a village outside of Uyo in the Eastern region, the letter requested missionaries and literature about teachings of the LDS Church. After discussing its obligations to preach the gospel to the world, the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the second highest governing body within the church’s hierarchy, decided to delay responding to this letter, because the church had actively avoided proselytizing among “Africans of the black race” since around 1830.2 This long-standing policy was based on two assumptions. First, Mormons conceived of Africa as a gloomy * I presented an earlier version of this article at the 6th Biennial Conference on the History of Religion, Boston College, 1–2 April 2016. I thank the participants of this conference, especially Priya Lal, for their thoughtful questions. I would also like to express my gratitude to James Allen, Michael DiBlasi, Dana Bronson, Barbara Diefendorf, Lynne Hansen, Victor Manfredi, James McCann, Eugenio Menegon, Susanna Morrill, Jeffrey Nichols, David Northrup, Dylan Proctor, and the two anonymous reviewers for the journal.

  • The Teachings of Church Leaders Regarding the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ: 1852–2018
    The Teachings of Church Leaders Regarding the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ: 1852–2018 John Hilton III, Emily K. Hyde, and McKenna Grace Trussel rom the beginnings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day FSaints (herein referred to as “the Church”), the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ has been at the heart of its theology. In numerous revelations received by Joseph Smith, the Savior is identified as having been “cru- cified for the sins of the world” (D&C 53:2; see also 21:9, 35:2, 46:13, 54:1, 76:41). President Brigham Young taught that salvation was only “through the name and ministry of Jesus Christ, and the atonement he made on Mount Calvary.”1 President John Taylor said that Christ “was crucified and put to death to atone for the sins of the world.”2 President Wilford Woodruff stated, “The Lord Jesus was crucified on Mount Cal- vary for the sins of the world.”3 And President Lorenzo Snow taught that Christ “sacrificed his life on Mount Calvary for the salvation of the human family.”4 In 1918, President Joseph F. Smith wrote “that redemp- tion had been wrought through the sacrifice of the Son of God upon the cross” (D&C 138:35), and in 1941, President Heber J. Grant testified that Christ “came to this earth with a divine mission to die upon the cross as the Redeemer of mankind, atoning for the sins of the world.”5 In brief, 1.

  • An Interview with Leonard Arrington
    Coming to Terms with Mormon History: An Interview with Leonard Arrington DIALOGUE : Leonard, would you tell us something of your family background and childhood, please? Arrington: I grew up on a farm in Twin Falls County, Idaho. My father served on the high council of Twin Falls stake when I was a child and youth. In 1924, when I was seven, he was called on a two-year, full-time mission to the Southern States. He left behind my mother and four children (I was the second son). We rented our twenty-acre farm to a neighbor and moved to a small frame house near my grandparents and two uncles on the south side of Twin Falls. Five months after my father left, my mother gave birth to a fifth child. When Dad returned he resumed farming, and I was happy to work closely with him because I was interested in animals and poultry just as he was. With his encouragement I became a teamster on the farm and also initiated a poultry enterprise that I continued until I went to college. DIALOGUE : What sparked your interest in Mormon history? Arrington: I was first introduced to Mormon history in 1929 when I was twelve years old. Our Twin Falls ward started a junior genealogical society in lieu of our regular Sunday School class, and I became fascinated with family history and genealogy. For this class I wrote an eleven-page autobiography and histories of both my father's and my mother's families. I completed pedi- gree charts and family group sheets, corresponded with my mother's oldest sister to get the history of their family, recorded a number of faith-promoting incidents, and gave several talks about our family history projects in Sunday School.

  • Transplanted Utah: Mormon Communities in Alberta Jessie L
    Transplanted Utah: Mormon Communities in Alberta Jessie L. Embry In 1962 Canadian Prime Minister John C. Diefenbaker attended the Seventy-fifth Anniversary Jubilee of Cardston and praised the Mormons in Southern Alberta for their "loyalty to the crown and the country, devotion and service in war and peace." Responding to a speech by Latter-Day Saints (LDS) Church leader Hugh E. Brown who had Canadian and U.S. ties, Diefenbaker explained, "You referred to us as your fellow Canadians. I am very happy to say that in your life and its dedication to our country, and to your country, you do represent to the embodiment of the relationship between our countries (Jourrzal History, 28 July 1962 8, 9). Diefenbaker raised but did not answer some interesting questions with this statement. What were the loyalties of the Mormons of Southern Alberta? Were they Mormons, Americans, or Canadians or an interesting combination of all three? While they were patriotic to all three, first of all they were Mormons. Their allegiance to their Church transcended their commitment to any government.
