    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. Their comments and conversation greatly improved this piece.

    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.

  • The Kirtland Economy Revisited: a Market Critique of Sectarian Economics

    The Kirtland Economy Revisited: a Market Critique of Sectarian Economics

    The Kirtland Economy Revisited: A Market Critique of Sectarian Economics Marvin S. Hill, C. Keith Rooker, and Larry T. Wimmer Acknowledgements Our indebtedness to others is unusually great. In addition to those who have read, criticized, and helped improve our manuscript, we have received suggestions which could have resulted in articles for the authors themselves but for their unselfish contributions to our work. In a real sense, this study is the result of a group effort beyond the three authors listed. Questions raised by Mr. Paul Sampson while working on a graduate history paper provided the immediate impetus for the study. He also generously provided us with all of his notes and bibliographic work. Initial encouragement and the financial support was provided by Professors Leonard J. Arrington and Thomas G. Alexander, direc- tors of the Charles Redd Center for Western Studies at Brigham Young University. Our two research assistants, Michael Cleverley and Maureen Arce- neaux, were extraordinarily helpful. Not only did they perform the bur- densome task of gathering and manipulating an enormous amount of data with great skill, but they also made several suggestions which led to innovative and fruitful areas of research. For example, the procedure used to estimate annual population from a combination of census and annual tax records was suggested by Mr. Cleverley. Professor Peter Crawley of the Mathematics Department at Brigham Young University suggested the procedure used to estimate the circula- tion of Kirtland notes, provided us with lists of serial numbers for those notes which he has collected over the years, and made other helpful suggestions regarding the bank.

  • The Odyssey of Thomas Stuart Ferguson

    The Odyssey of Thomas Stuart Ferguson

    The Odyssey of Thomas Stuart Ferguson Stan Larson WITH A KEEN EYE TO THE LDS BOOK MARKET during the 1987 and 1988 Christmas and conference seasons, various Utah radio stations aired this dramatic radio commercial: In 1949 [1946] California lawyer, Tom Ferguson, rolled up his sleeves, threw a shovel over his shoulder, and marched into the remote jungles of southern Mexico. Armed with a quote by Joseph Smith that the Lord had "a hand in proving the Book of Mormon true in the eyes of all the people," Ferguson's goal was: Shut the mouths of the critics who said such evidence did not exist. Ferguson began an odyssey that included twenty-four trips to Central America, eventually resulting in a mountain of evidence supporting Book of Mormon claims. (Johnson 1988; cf. Warren and Ferguson 1987, vi) The book advertised was The Messiah in Ancient America, and the authors were listed as Bruce W. Warren and Thomas Stuart Ferguson. The main point of the commercial, taking into consideration the hyper- bole of paid advertising, was that Ferguson had amassed evidence so overwhelming that any fair-minded person would have no alternative but to accept the historical claims of the Book of Mormon. STAN LARSON is religion archives specialist, Special Collections, Marriott Library, University of Utah, Salt Lake City. 56 DIALOGUE: A JOURNAL OF MORMON THOUGHT Although Warren's preface to the book refers to the late Tom Ferguson's "abiding testimony of the Book of Mormon" (Warren and Ferguson 1987, xiii), a completely different image of Ferguson has been presented recently by Jerald and Sandra Tanner, anti-Mormon publish- ers in Salt Lake City.

    Martin Harris: the Kirtland Years, 18314870

    Martin Harris: The Kirtland Years, 18314870 H. Michael Marquardt MARTIN HARRIS IS KNOWN for being a Book of Mormon scribe, witness, and financier. However, little is known about his activities while living in Kirtland, Ohio, for over thirty-five years. This article will present what is known about Harris during the Kirtland years. Included will be his re- lationship to other Restoration churches under the leadership of James J. Strang (including Harris's mission to England), William E. McLellin, and so forth. A brief background of Harris's life in New York will also be given to help understand his place in the early life of the church. NEW YORK SEEKER Martin Harris was born on 18 May 1783 at Eastown, New York. He was a well-established farmer of Palmyra, Ontario (later Wayne) County, New York. At the age of twenty-six, Harris married his cousin Lucy; he was nine years her senior. They had a family of four known children. He became a close associate of Joseph Smith, Jr., whom he assisted finan- cially, and he acted as a scribe to Smith.1 He also financed the publication of the Book of Mormon by mortgaging his farm. As an early convert of Mormonism, he was received into fellowship by baptism on the day the church was organized. Due to the time and resources spent on his new re- ligion, Harris became partially separated from his wife, Lucy. Orsamus Turner, a printer in New York, described Harris thusly: Martin Harris, was a farmer of Palmyra, the owner of a good farm, and an honest worthy citizen; but especially given to religious enthusiasm, new creeds, the more extravagant the better; a monomaniac, in fact.2 1.
