  • Though It Has Been Known by Different Names, the Young Women Orga
    Though it has been known by different names, the Young Women Orga- nization has always sought to help young women improve themselves, de- velop their talents, serve others, and strengthen their testimonies of Jesus Christ. (© Intellectual Reserve, Inc. All rights reserved.) A Firm Foundation Janet Peterson 12 Young Women of Zion: An Organizational History The Young Women program of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has grown from the desires of young women to im- prove themselves, develop their talents, serve others, and strengthen their testimonies of Jesus Christ. The various names of the organization are listed below: • The Young Gentlemen and Ladies’ Relief Society of Nauvoo, 1843 • The Young Ladies’ Department of the Cooperative Retrench- ment Association (Young Ladies’ Retrenchment Association), 1869 • Young Ladies’ National Mutual Improvement Association, 1877 Janet Peterson is a member of the Church Correlation Committee, Materials Evaluation Division.

Marba C. Josephson, editor of the Improvement Era and general board member, described the goals as “aiding the LDS girl to gain a testimony of the gospel through wholesome lesson work and spiritualized recreation.”1 Church leaders have long recognized the vital role that this auxiliary fills in helping adolescent girls to develop testimonies of the Savior and to become faithful, covenant-keeping women. The programs and procedures have changed to meet the needs of an ever-growing Church population and to help young women face the chal- lenges of their particular eras.

    Chapter 5 The Salt Lake Tabernacle: A Witness to the Growth of God’s Kingdom Scott C. Esplin “ n great deeds something abides,” reminisced Joshua Lawrence IChamberlain, a famed Civil War colonel. “On great fields some- thing stays. Forms change and pass; bodies disappear, but spirits linger, to consecrate ground for the vision-place of souls. And reverent men and women from afar, and generations that know us not and that we know not of, heart-drawn to see where and by whom great things were suffered and done for them, shall come to this deathless field to ponder and dream; And lo! the shadow of a mighty presence shall wrap them in its bosom, and the power of the vision pass into their souls.”1 For Latter-day Saints, the historic Salt Lake Tabernacle has become one of those sacred sites—a consecrated hall where “something abides” and “spirits linger” and where modern visitors are wrapped in “the shadow of a mighty presence” while visions of the Restoration “pass into their souls.” President Gordon B. Hinckley summarized the influence the Scott C. Esplin is an assistant professor of Church history and doctrine at Brigham Young University. 69 Salt Lake City: The Place Which God Prepared Tabernacle has had on the Church: “The Spirit of the Lord has been in this structure. It is sacred unto us.”2 With the construction of larger and more modern conference halls, the Salt Lake Tabernacle stands today as a silent witness to its pioneer past. Having undergone significant transformations throughout its life, the building serves not only as a monument to pioneer greatness but also as an example of changes in the Church’s history.

Narrator #2: Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott organized a women’s rights convention ​ in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. There, Stanton read their “Declaration of Sentiments” to an audience of 300, demanding all the same rights that men had, including voting rights. After hearing Stanton speak, one hundred women and men signed the Declaration of Sentiments. This small convention began the women’s suffrage movement in the United States.

Most European members and many American converts had never traveled more than a few miles from their homes. European converts, after sailing across the Atlantic Ocean and traveling almost a thousand miles to staging areas in Iowa City or on the Missouri River, had to walk or ride in wooden wagons or pull handcarts another thousand miles over crude trails or, in some cases, no trail. Most American converts also had to travel long distances to get to an outfitting post. Difficulties during the final thousand miles of travel were enhanced by the anxiety of locating adequate feed for cattle and finding good water and fuel for cooking.

  • Policing the Borders of Identity At
    POLICING THE BORDERS OF IDENTITY AT THE MORMON MIRACLE PAGEANT Kent R. Bean A dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2005 Jack Santino, Advisor Richard C. Gebhardt, Graduate Faculty Representative John Warren Nathan Richardson William A. Wilson ii ABSTRACT Jack Santino, Advisor While Mormons were once the “black sheep” of Christianity, engaging in communal economic arrangements, polygamy, and other practices, they have, since the turn of the twentieth century, modernized, Americanized, and “Christianized.” While many of their doctrines still cause mainstream Christians to deny them entrance into the Christian fold, Mormons’ performance of Christianity marks them as not only Christian, but as perhaps the best Christians. At the annual Mormon Miracle Pageant in Manti, Utah, held to celebrate the origins of the Mormon founding, Evangelical counter- Mormons gather to distribute literature and attempt to dissuade pageant-goers from their Mormonism. The hugeness of the pageant and the smallness of the town displace Christianity as de facto center and make Mormonism the central religion. Cast to the periphery, counter-Mormons must attempt to reassert the centrality of Christianity. Counter-Mormons and Mormons also wrangle over control of terms. These “turf wars” over issues of doctrine are much more about power than doctrinal “purity”: who gets to authoritatively speak for Mormonism. Meanwhile, as Mormonism moves Christianward, this creates room for Mormon fundamentalism, as small groups of dissidents lay claim to Joseph Smith’s “original” Mormonism. Manti is home of the True and Living Church of Jesus Christ of Saints of the Last Days, a group that broke away from the Mormon Church in 1994 and considers the mainstream church apostate, offering a challenge to its dominance in this time and place.
