Elder Woodruff and Brother Benbow traveled to the Herefordshire area to teach William’s brother, John, and his family. The Benbow brothers then invited the neighbors to join them in hearing what the missionary had to say. As a result, 13 people were baptized in this pond on the Benbow farm. They also introduced Elder Woodruff to their former congrega- tion: over 600 people who had formed their own church, the United Brethren. All but one was eventually baptized. Later that year they deeded their Gadfield Elm chapel to the Church. See “To Fill the Earth,” page 24. Liahona, July 2010 24 MESSAGES 18 Choose the Temple DEPARTMENTS By Richard M.

    Placing the Cardston Temple in Early Mormon Temple Architectural History

    PLACING THE CARDSTON TEMPLE IN EARLY MORMON TEMPLE ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY By Amanda Buessecker A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in Art History Carleton University May 2020 Supervisor: Peter Coffman, Ph.D. Carleton University ii Abstract: The Cardston temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints represents a drastic shift in temple architecture of the early Mormon faith. The modern granite structure was designed not to show a mere difference of aesthetic taste, but as an embodiment of the evolving relationship between the Mormon pioneers and the American government. Earlier temples, erected in the nineteenth century throughout the valleys of Utah, were constructed by Mormon pioneers at a time when the religious group desired to separate themselves from the United States physically, politically, and architecturally. When the temple was built in Cardston, Alberta (1913-1923), it was a radical departure from its medievalist predecessors in Utah. The selected proposal was a modern Prairie-school style building, a manifestation of Utah’s recent interest in integrating into American society shortly after being admitted to the Union as a state in 1896. iii Contents Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 1 Part I: A Literature Review ........................................................................................................ 5 A Background for Semiotics .................................................................................................

Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December 2019 i Abstract B. H. Roberts presented information to the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January of 1922 that fundamentally challenged the entire premise of their religious beliefs. New research shows that in addition to church leadership, this information was also presented during the neXt few months to a select group of highly educated Mormon men and women outside of church hierarchy. This group represented many aspects of Mormon belief, different areas of eXpertise, and varying approaches to dealing with challenging information. Their stories create a beautiful tapestry of Mormon life in the transition years from polygamy, frontier life, and resistance to statehood, assimilation, and respectability. A study of the people involved illuminates an important, overlooked, underappreciated, and eXciting period of Mormon history.

  • About the Artist

    About the Artist

    ABOUT THE ARTIST LeConte Stewart was born 15 April 1891 in Glenwood, Utah. After school- ing at Ricks Academy in Rexburg, Idaho, he studied art in Salt Lake City in 1912, and with the Art Students League in Woodstock, New York, and New York City in 1913-14. While on a mission in Hawaii in 1917-19, he was assigned to paint murals and decorative detail for the temple in Laie. He married Zipporah Layton while in Hawaii, and taught school and proselyted as well. In 1920-22, he painted murals in the Cardston Alberta temple, and returned to settle in Kaysville, Utah, in 1923. He was head of the Ogden High School art department from 1923-38, and from 1938-56 was chairman of the University of Utah Art Department. Stewart taught in elementary schools, high schools, and at the University of Utah, and after retiring in 1956 continued to teach, both with the Univer- sity and privately in Davis County. His on-site landscape painting classes con- tinued through the mid-1980s, and he worked actively in painting and draw- ing the landscapes of rural northern Utah to the age of ninety-five. Stewart's failing health has recently forced him to retire from painting, and at present he resides in a health care center in Clearfield, Utah. In an essay accompanying a 1985 retrospective exhibit at the Museum of Church History and Art in Salt Lake City (published in LeConte Stewart: The Spirit of Landscape, Salt Lake City: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints, 1985), Robert O.

    Patriarchal Blessings and the Routinization of Charisma

    ARTICLES AND ESSAYS Patriarchal Blessings and the Routinization of Charisma Irene M. Bates Patriarchal blessings contemplate an inspired declaration of the lineage of the recipient, and also, where so moved upon by the Spirit, an inspired and prophetic statement of the life mission of the recipient, together with such blessings, cautions, and admonitions as the patriarch may be prompted to give for the accomplishment of such life's mission, it being always made clear that the realization of all promised blessings is conditioned upon faithfulness to the gospel of our Lord, whose servant the patriarch is. THE POLICY OF RECORDING PATRIARCHAL BLESSINGS, copies of which are deposited in the office of the LDS Church Historian, affords a valuable picture of cultural change in the church, perhaps reflective of changes in American society in general. In the interests of privacy, however, the church does not allow access to its copies of blessings, unless there is proof of blood relationship to the recipient. The researcher, therefore, must access blessings recorded in journals, those appearing in other manuscripts, and any blessings which individuals may choose to release for examination and publication. All of the 744 blessings upon which this study is based are drawn from these sources. 1. First Presidency [David O. McKay, Stephen L Richards, and J.

    Episode 7 Legacy GADFIELD ELM CHAPEL [BEGIN MUSIC] NATHAN WRIGHT: One of the most remarkable aspects of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is its unique history. Throughout the world great stories from faithful Church members have only added to that history. This program shares some of these incredible stories of faith, perseverance, hope and inspiration. You are listening to Legacy. I'm your host, Nathan Wright. [END MUSIC] NATHAN WRIGHT: A small stone chapel in the rural countryside of England stands today as a monument to the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Through the missionary efforts of Wilford Woodruff, Brigham Young, Willard Richards, and others, fifteen hundred people joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the small towns and villages around the Gadfield Elm Chapel. In studio, joining us today is Emily Utt. Emily has worked for the Church History Department for four years, most of her time is spent researching and writing for Church-owned historic site exhibits. These sites help missionaries and visitors find stronger connection with our sacred past. She has degrees in religion and history from Case Western Reserve University and is currently enrolled in Goucher College studying historic preservation. Emily, Thank you very much for being here. EMILY UTT: Thank you. NATHAN WRIGHT: Tell us, what is the Gadfield Elm Chapel? EMILY UTT: I had the same question when I started researching when I was given this project a few years ago. I had never heard of the Gadfield Elm Chapel and I hadn't really heard much about the mission of the twelve to England.
