Mormonism's Negro Doctrine
LOOKING BACK, LOOKING FORWARD: “MORMONISM’S NEGRO DOCTRINE” FORTY-FIVE YEARS LATER1 Lester E. Bush, Jr. It has been forty-five years since Dialogue published my essay entitled “Mormonism’s Negro Doctrine: An Historical Overview”2 and forty years since Official Declaration 2 ended the priesthood/temple ban. It seems like a good time to take stock of where we are: what has changed, what has stayed the same, what changes still need to happen, and what steps need to occur to bring about those changes. What’s New The first task—what has changed—is in some ways the easiest, and certainly the most uplifting. Almost everything has changed, and all for the good, beginning with the “priesthood revelation” of 1978. The obvious milestones, aside from the revelation itself, are: • the immediate ordination of Blacks to the priesthood, soon includ- ing the office of high priest, and the resumption of temple ordinances • just twelve years after the revelation, the first Black General Authority was called; recently, two more were called 1. A version of these remarks was originally given as the Sterling M. McMurrin Lecture on Religion and Culture at the University of Utah on October 8, 2015. 2. Lester E. Bush, Jr., “Mormonism’s Negro Doctrine: An Historical Overview,” Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought 8, no. 1 (Spring 1973): 11–68. 1 2 Dialogue, Fall 2018 • an inner city proselyting effort began • African American stake presidents were called in the Deep South • the growth of the Black membership from perhaps a few thousand to somewhere over half a million Africa deserves special mention. -
