MESSAGE with this publication of the proceedings of the third MPHS conference and the anticipation of the fourth conference for 30 april 1983 it appears that our mormon pacific historical society is now definitely off the ground we are genuinely grateful to those loyal supporters who have stuck with us since the beginning and also those who have learned what it is we are about and have since joined forces with us ours is a great cause we hope to increase not only knowledge about the mormon church in the pacific nations but also pride in being associated with an activity about which there is still a great amount of ignoranceignoranceignorance ignorance which we through our MPHS may help dispel our theme for the 1982 conference make friends with the past suggests another reason for the study of historythathistory that it is just plain good fun to learn something so vital and interest ingng that can provide us with such great satisfaction if MPHS has helped in doing that we are most pleased many thanks to lance chase for chairing the conference and for compiling these proceedings his secretary yvonne lowe has also been a great help to us this past year at our business meeting

ISSN 1065-9366 (print), 2168-3158 (online) Abstract The publication of the Book of Mormon brought forward the first of many comparisons between the restorational work of the Prophet Joseph Smith and his surround- ing environment, including Freemasonry. One point of comparison has been the lambskin apparel mentioned in 3 Nephi 4:7. A possible connection exists between this item of apparel and ritual clothing that was worn in ancient Israel, Egypt, and Mesoamerica. I suggest a possi- ble reason for the use of this item of clothing among the secret combinations in the Book of Mormon and discuss the lambskin apron used in Freemasonic ritual. Girded about with a Lambskin Matthew B. Brown Abstract: The publication of the Book of Mormon brought forward the first of many comparisons between the restorational work of the Prophet Joseph Smith and his surrounding environ­ ment, including Freemasonry.

  • THE PRAYER CIRCLE in the MORMON TEMPLE© Also Known As the “True Order of Prayer” February 4, 2010
    1 THE PRAYER CIRCLE IN THE MORMON TEMPLE© Also known as the “True Order of Prayer” February 4, 2010 Numerous articles can be found on the Internet describing the entire Mormon temple ceremony. This article will not do that, although references will be made to the general endowment ceremony. It will mainly focus on the Prayer Circle, which is not often discussed. This is a smaller ritual that occurs at the latter part of the endowment ceremony prior to the candidate going through the veil of the temple to enter the Celestial room. This ritual is also known as “The True Order of Prayer.” The focus of this article will be to show that Mormon theology is based on Gnosticism, not Biblical Christianity. On another note, I’ve posted two additional stories at my link, Faith Promoting Stories, and this brings up something new I would like to introduce¾an invitation to submit stories to this site. If any of you have a story about yourself or someone in your family, where something of a faith-promoting nature happened to you or them--or else a fictional story that you have written and feel is inspirational, send it to me. If it is accepted, there will be no payment (sorry), but you will retain the copyright. It will be put under the link, Faith Promoting Stories. I reserve the right to say no to some, and although they may be well written, might not fit into the categories listed below.

  • SAVIOR of the WORLD: His Birth and Resurrection Introduction to Production Materials
    SAVIOR OF THE WORLD: His Birth and Resurrection Introduction to Production Materials The production Savior of the World: His Birth and Resurrection is a powerful testimony of the Savior Jesus Christ. Through music and drama, the production recounts the historical events leading up to the birth of the Messiah and the events following His glorious Resurrection. Because of its scriptural basis, the production provides opportunities for the Spirit to testify that Jesus is the Christ. Consequently, inviting the Spirit into all aspects of the production is a vital part of preparing for a performance in which the Spirit can testify to both audience and participants. Planning the Production Plan to meet priesthood purposes. If Savior of the World is presented as a Church activity, production decisions should be based on spiritual purposes identified by the priesthood leaders responsible for the production. These may include the purposes of Church activities listed in the Church Handbook of Instructions, Book 2, page 271, such as strengthening the family, building testimonies, developing talents, creating unity, and reaching out to less-active members and friends of other faiths. Keep the specific purposes of your priesthood leaders in mind while planning all aspects of the production and consult with them often to ensure that their inspired vision is achieved. A priesthood representative may wish to attend planning meetings and rehearsals. Select an appropriate type of production. Select a format based on the purposes and resources designated by your priesthood leaders. Savior of the World: His Birth and Resurrection can be produced in its entirety as a fully staged production, or the two acts can stand alone as individual presentations: Act I for Christmas and Act II for Easter.
