    Sacred Space: A Resource for Small-group Ministry Year B Focus: Ordinary Time Proper 5 Scripture: 1 Samuel 8:4–20; 11:14–15 NRSV Gathering Welcome Ordinary Time is the period in the Christian calendar from Pentecost to Advent. This part of the Christian calendar is without major festivals or holy days. During Ordinary Time we focus on our discipleship as individuals and as a faith community. Prayer for Peace Ring a bell or chime three times slowly. Light the peace candle. O God our source, We enter into this Daily Prayer for Peace desiring to find peace in the quiet and the noise of daily living. When we feel isolated and alone, may we hear the words, “Peace be upon you.” May you breathe your Spirit upon us. We long for the day when the Temple doors will be open wide, and the prayers of the people will echo up into the lofty spire under which we gather. Until that time, fill us with your peace that we may be ambassadors of your peace. Teach us the ways of justice and prepare us inwardly for righteous living that we might be agents of change for the Earth and the dispossessed of the Earth. Forgive us when we stray from living in accord with divine will. Open us to repair relationships and bridge the barriers between people. And once again, open our ears, soften our hearts, and strengthen our minds that we might hear, feel, and know these words, “Peace be upon you.” Amen. —Glenn Johnson ORDINARY TIME PROPER 5; Scripture: 1 Samuel 8:4–20; 11:14–15 NRSV Spiritual Practice Confession The practice of confession is to examine one’s heart and bring into the light those things that hide in the dark recesses of our being.

  • Community of Christ: an American Progressive Christianity, with Mormonism As an Option
    COMMUNITY OF CHRIST: AN AMERICAN PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIANITY, WITH MORMONISM AS AN OPTION Chrystal Vanel Most scholars of Mormonism focus on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah and currently presided over by Thomas S. Monson. However, according to Massimo Introvigne, a specialist in new religious movements, “six historical branches” 1 of Mormonism developed after the death of the founder, Joseph Smith, in 1844: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints led by Brigham Young; the Reorganized Church/Community of Christ; the Church of Christ (Temple Lot); the Church of Jesus Christ orga- nized around the leadership of William Bickerton (1815–1905); the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints that accepted James J. Strang (1813–1856) as prophet and king; and the Church of Jesus Christ that followed the leadership of Alpheus Cutler (1784–1864). I like to refer to these denominations as the “six historical Mormonisms.”2 As Mark Lyman Staker has shown, the terms “Mormons,” “Mor- monites,” and “Mormonism” originally referred to believers in the Book 1. Massimo Introvigne, Les Mormons (Maredsous: Brepols, 1991), 19–22. 2. Chrystal Vanel, “Des Mormonismes : une étude historique et sociologique d’une fissiparité religieuse américaine, 1830-2013” (PhD diss., École Pratique des Hautes Études–Sorbonne, 2013), 23. 89 90 Dialogue, Fall 2017 of Mormon and their religion.3 I thus argue that Mormonism exists wherever there is belief in the Book of Mormon, even though many adherents reject the term “Mormonism” to distance themselves from the LDS Church headquartered in Salt Lake City.
