Imødekommelse Af En Verdensomspændende Kirkes Behov Jesu Kristi Kirke af Sidste Dages Hellige - www.mormon.dk Teksten er den del af: Kirkens historie i tidernes fylde Kapitel 45 - Imødekommelse af en verdensomspændende kirkes behov Tidslinie Dato Betydningsfuld begivenhed 1975 Konferencerne for hjælpeorganisationerne ophører Okt. 1975 De Halvfjerds' Første Kvorum organiseres som et generalautoritet-kvorum 1978 Det slægtshistoriske navneuddragningsprogram introduceres 1979 Stavskonferencernes antal reduceres til to gange årligt 1980 Ny søndagsmødeplan indføres 1982 Kirkens medlemstal overstiger 5 millioner 1984 Områdepræsidentskaber kaldes 5. november Spencer W. Kimball dør 90 år gammel 1985 Indledning Kirkens medlemstal var nået op på 3.321.556, da Spencer W. Kimball blev præsident for Kirken i begyndelsen af 1973,1 og det fortsatte med at vokse hurtigt under hans ledelse. I begyndelsen af 1980'erne voksede Kirken med over en kvart million nye medlemmer hvert år. I 1982 passerede Kirkens medlemstal fem millioner. En sådan vækst i løbet af et årti medfører store udfordringer: Hvordan kan generalautoriteterne på effektiv vis bevare forbindelsen til det hurtigt voksende antal kirkeenheder og hellige over hele verden? Hvordan kan Kirkens programmer og aktiviteter bedst imødekomme medlemmernes behov, som lever under meget forskellige forhold? Hvordan kan templets velsignelser stilles til rådighed for alle medlemmer? Den voksende kirke havde behov for flere ledere til at møde udfordringerne i en ny tid. De Halvfjerds' Første Kvorum organiseres Det voksende antal stave og missioner i Kirken lagde et større tidspres på generalautoriteterne. Der var flere stavskonferencer, som de skulle deltage i, og flere missionsdistrikter, som havde behov for tilsyn. Fem højpræster var blevet kaldet i april 1941 til at tjene som assistenter til De Tolv for at hjælpe dem med de voksende administrative pligter. Som Kirken fortsat voksede i årenes løb, blev yderligere Brødre kaldet til denne stilling. Indtil oktober 1976 havde 38 assistenter til De Tolv virket (se aktuelle Deseret News Church Almanac): 1. Marion G. Romney 2. Thomas E. McKay 3. Clifford E. Young Side 1 af 9 Jesu Kristi Kirke af Sidste Dages Hellige - www.mormon.dk 4. Alma Sonne 5. Nicholas G. Smith 6. George Q. Morris 7.

Wirthlin Der blev ligeledes lagt yderligere opgaver over til de syv generalautoriteter, som udgjorde De Halvfjerds' Første Råd. Præsident David O. McKay bekendtgjorde i september 1961, at disse halvfjerdser var blevet ordineres til embedet som højpræst og havde fået myndighed til at organisere stave og ward, og herunder at indsætte stavspræsidenter og biskopper, under De Tolvs ledelse.2 Tidligere havde det Første Råd ført tilsyn med halvfjerdserkvorummer i stavene over hele Kirken, men ikke fået myndighed til at regulere stave og ward. I 1975 bekendtgjorde Spencer W. Kimball, at tiden var kommet til at organisere De Halvfjerds' Første Kvorum. Disse Brødre skulle hjælpe de eksisterende syv præsidenter for De Halvfjerds med at fremme Herrens værk, "især hvad angår missioneringen."3 Det Første Præsidentskab erklærede efterfølgende, at medlemmer af De Halvfjerds' Første Kvorum ville få den samme myndighed som assistenterne til De Tolv. Ved oktoberkonferencen i 1976 bekendtgjorde præsident Kimball, at Det Første Præsidentskab havde "følt sig inspireret til at kalde alle assistenterne til De Tolv Side 2 af 9 Jesu Kristi Kirke af Sidste Dages Hellige - www.mormon.dk til tjeneste i De Halvfjerds' Første Kvorum." Præsident Kimball fortsatte: "Med disse forandringer ... er de tre styrende kvorummer i Kirken, der er blevet tilkendegivet gennem åbenbaring -- Det Første Præsidentskab, De Tolv Apostles Kvorum og De Halvfjerds' Første Kvorum -- blevet sat på deres rette pladser, som åbenbaret af Herren [se L&P 107:22-26]. Det vil gøre det muligt effektivt at klare det nuværende arbejdspres og at berede os til den yderligere udvidelse og vækst af arbejdet i forventning om den dag, da Herren vil vende tilbage og overtage den direkte ledelse af sin kirke og sit rige"4 Som del af en fortsat proces blev der ved hver af de efterfølgende generalkonferencer føjet flere medlemmer til De Halvfjerds' Første Kvorum.5 Kontakten til de hellige overalt i verden bevares Mens medlemmer af De Halvfjerds tilvejebragte den nødvendige hjælp ved Kirkens hovedsæde, blev der ligeledes truffet foranstaltninger til at styrke forbindelsen til de vidtspredte lokale enheder. Regioner, som havde ledet velfærdsprojekter siden 1936, og områder, som havde koordineret missioner siden 1960'erne, blev reorganiseret. Derpå blev hvert missionsområde stillet under personligt tilsyn af en generalautoritet. I 1966 boede elleve af disse Brødre uden for USA. I 1975 kom regioner og stave også ind under disse fastboende generalautoriteter eller områdetilsynsførende.6 En vigtig udvikling kom til i 1984, da verden blev opdelt i 13 store områder, der hver blev ledet af et præsidentskab, der bestod af 3 medlemmer af De Halvfjerds. Denne forandring bragte ny styrke til Kirkens ledelse på områdeniveau. Disse generalautoriteter i områdepræsidentskabet havde viden og erfaring, som hjalp dem med at lede deres områder i overensstemmelse med de helliges forskellige behov og forhold i de forskellige dele af verden. Præsident Gordon B. Hinckley, andenrådgiver til præsident Spencer W. Kimball, fremhævede, at Kirkens vækst kræver fleksibilitet i forvaltningen, selv om Kirkens guddommelige mandat ikke ændres."7 Generalautoriteterne fik også ansvar for at lede de talrige afdelinger og komitéer ved Kirkens hovedsæde. I 1977 bekendtgjorde Det Første Præsidentskab en opdeling mellem ansvaret for de timelige anliggender hos Det Præsiderende Biskopråd på den ene side, og på den anden side for de kirkelige og åndelige anliggender hos De Tolv Apostle og De Halvfjerds. Medlemmerne af De Halvfjerds Første Kvorum overtog hovedansvaret for den daglige administration af Kirkens programmer inden for missionering, tempel og slægtshistorie, så vel som for de forskellige afdelinger, som ledte arbejdet med præstedømmets kvorummer og hjælpeorganisationerne. Da medlemmerne af De Halvfjerds' Kvorummer overtog dette ansvar, fik De Tolv Apostle bedre muligheder for at vise større opmærksomhed over for Kirkens behov på verdensplan. Da Kirken voksede, blev udgiften ved at bringe lokale ledere til generalkonference to gange om året en voksende byrde, og Kirkens ledere besluttede, at det var bedre at uddanne lokale ledere i deres eget land. Fra 1971 begyndte generalautoriteter at afholde områdekonferencer rundt omkring i verden. Disse konferencer blev afholdt i store auditorier eller sportshaller, så mange mennesker kunne deltage. Områdekonferencer var imidlertid ikke kun til oplæring af lokale ledere. Lokale medlemmer, hvor mange kom fra små, fjerntliggende grene, var taknemmelige for at kunne høre generalautoriteternes råd og for at kunne samles med tusinder af deres medhellige. Men efterhånden blev selv områdekonferencer for store og upraktiske. I midten af 1980'erne begyndte regionale eller multi-regionale konferencer, overværet af små delegationer af generalautoriteter, at erstatte de større forsamlinger. Side 3 af 9 Jesu Kristi Kirke af Sidste Dages Hellige - www.mormon.dk I 1975 bekendtgjorde præsident Kimball, at konferencerne for hjælpeorganisationerne ved Kirkens hovedsæde skulle ophøre. Disse konferencer var årligt blevet afholdt af Hjælpeforeningen, Unge Mænd og Unge Piger (GUF), Søndagsskolen og Primary. Instruktionerne til de lokale ledere blev herefter givet ved regionale møder og ved generalkonferencer. Tilsvarende blev generalkonferencerne i 1977 skåret ned fra tre til to dage og afholdt den første weekend i henholdsvis april og oktober. Det betød, at aprilkonferencerne ikke altid faldt på den 6. april, som er årsdagen for Kirkens organisering. Ved at afholde generalkonferencer i weekender fik flere stavspræsidenter og andre mulighed for at deltage, eftersom de ikke behøvede at rejse hjemmefra midt i en arbejdsuge. I forbindelse med Kirkens to-dages halvårlige generalkonferencer afholdt hjælpeorganisationerne begrænsede workshops og åbenthus torsdag og fredag forud for konferencen. På det mere lokale plan blev antallet af årlige stavskonferencer i 1979 reduceret fra fire om året til to. Det blev gjort, for "at lette Kirkens medlemmers byrder i form af tid, rejse og økonomi."8 Fra midten af 1980'erne deltog medlemmer af De Tolvs Kvorum i stigende grad i regionale eller multi-regionale konferencer snarere end i de individuelle stavskonferencer.9 Forenklede aktiviteter Kirkens ledere fortsatte med at tage skridt for at sikre sig, at Kirkens mål blev opfyldt uden unødvendige krav til de helliges tid eller økonomi. Generalautoriteterne rådede de lokale ledere til ikke at sponsorere ungdomsture eller andre overdådige aktiviteter, som ville belaste medlemmernes ressourcer. Unge Mænds og Unge Pigers organisation havde tidligere kaldet ledere inden

The list of LDS luminaries who walked these streets before us is long and impressive. Within the mission boundaries are the birthplaces of John Taylor (Milnthorpe), B. H. Roberts (Warrington), George Q. Cannon (Liverpool), and John Longden (Oldham). Furthermore, the work of the British Mission (from which the EMM was created in 1976) has been directed by numerous men who either were or later served as General Authorities, including seven who would become presidents of the Church. As we delve into historical accounts of their labours, it becomes obvious that the tests and trials they endured here helped prepare them to sit in the leading councils of the Church. In the 1830's, during the difficult days of Kirtland and Missouri, the newly-restored Church was struggling for survival. Internal strife, disunity among leaders, apostasy, and financial problems were some of the challenges faced by the Prophet Joseph Smith. In the midst of these troubles, Joseph later wrote, "God revealed to me that something new must be done for the salvation of the Church." The bold, almost all-or-nothing solution, inspired of God, was to send some of the most capable men in the Church to Great Britain as missionaries.

In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714.

  • 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. Brigham Young, in Journal of Discourses, 26 vols. (Liverpool: F. D. Rich- ards, 1855–86), 9:365 (August 31, 1862).

  • A History of Morgan County, Utah Centennial County History Series
    610 square miles, more than 90 percent of which is privately owned. Situated within the Wasatch Mountains, its boundaries defined by mountain ridges, Morgan Countyhas been celebrated for its alpine setting. Weber Can- yon and the Weber River traverse the fertile Morgan Valley; and it was the lush vegetation of the pristine valley that prompted the first white settlers in 1855 to carve a road to it through Devils Gate in lower Weber Canyon. Morgan has a rich historical legacy. It has served as a corridor in the West, used by both Native Americans and early trappers. Indian tribes often camped in the valley, even long after it was settled by Mormon pioneers. The southern part of the county was part of the famed Hastings Cutoff, made notorious by the Donner party but also used by Mormon pioneers, Johnston's Army, California gold seekers, and other early travelers. Morgan is still part of main routes of traffic, including the railroad and utility lines that provide service throughout the West. Long known as an agricultural county, the area now also serves residents who commute to employment in Wasatch Front cities.
