Kirtland Temple Suit Brigham Young and the 12 wanted to sell the Nauvoo and Kirtland Temples to finance the move to the west. Temple belonged to Joseph Smith at time of death, ownership is disputed and the temple is sold on the steps of the courthouse to settle his debts. Sells for $150 in 1860 and it eventually gets sold to Joseph Smith III. Several people try to use/buy/sell the temple, but are prevented due to the cloudy chain of title. JS III attempts to sell the temple again, but the RLDS presiding bishop sues him (as well as John Taylor) in 1875 and tries to argue that the temple belongs to the church because the deed is only good for the land under the temple. Judge dismissed the case, but indicated that the RLDS Church was the true successor of the Joseph Smith church because the LDS church had gone rogue, citing polygamy and Adam-God Doctrine. Although ownership remained disputed, the RLDS continued to use it and make repairs. By 1901, the ownership of the temple was made clear under the doctrine of adverse possession (“squatters rights” – more than 20 years of use). Without this care, the temple would have likely fallen into disrepair. Fate of the Kirtland Temple Joseph Smith Papers Podcast Episode 7 Debunked that the temple was a stable for animals.

Membership is aging and contributors dropping. The $192.5M does not fully address our needs Carla Young “Cultural trends affecting church participation are beyond our control,” “we are exploring new ways to convey our mission, but change takes time.” The sale was the only asset that could help change our trajectory in some parts of the world. The $192.5M will not cover projected decline in contributors, but it will cover income loss during the next 4-5 years and give time for leaders to develop more income streams.

IS GOD DISAPPOINTED IN ME? by Kurt Francom As early as Primary, you may have absorbed this confusing message: “God loves us…but He’s so disappointed in you.” For a religion that preaches hope, the message of “do more” often seems to win out. With so many programs, assignments, callings, commandments, standards, and honor codes, how can you keep up? The adversary highlights the shame you feel when you constantly fall short. Do you feel only heaviness as you consider the Latter-day Saint path to exaltation? How can God not be disappointed in someone like me? The gospel was never meant to be exhausting, and God has never been disappointed in you. God isn’t frustrated with you, and He isn’t looking to condemn you. Many are trying to gain strength by doing more, but true strength is found in turning to God. PURCHASE THE BOOK ABOUT KURT: Kurt Francom is the founder and executive director of Leading Saints and manages the day-to-day efforts of Leading Saints and is the host of the podcast. Kurt graduated from the University of Utah in 2008 with a degree in Business Marketing. He ran a web development company for 5 years before focusing on Leading Saints full-time.

Promises to pursue other means to push back against county’s decision Two lawsuits pending Cody Wyoming Temple Judge Denies the request to stay the construction approval The neighborhood group failed to prove irreparable harm if construction proceeds. Temple can still be demolished in the event the lawsuit prevails. Judge wrote that “concerns about the temple are based on nothing more than their individual subjective opinions” that come from “just the claims of a few neighbors.” The Church will experience irreparable harm if there is a stay due to the expense of delaying construction, storing the modules, and the impinging of religious liberty if church members can’t worship freely.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other Christians have always shared a fundamental belief in the connection between personal salvation and the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. While having faith in and experiencing the atonement of Christ remains a core tenet for Latter-day Saints, some thinkers have in recent decades reconsidered traditional understandings of atonement. In Latter-day Saint Perspectives on Atonement, Deidre Nicole Green and Eric D. Huntsman edit a collection that brings together multiple and diverse approaches to thinking about Latter-day Saint views on this foundational area of theology. The essayists draw on and go beyond a wide range of perspectives, classical atonement theories, and contemporary reformulations of atonement theory. The first section focuses on scriptural and historical foundations while the second concentrates on theological explorations. Together, the contributors evaluate what is efficacious and ethical in the Latter-day Saint outlook and offer ways to reconceive those views to provide a robust theological response to contemporary criticisms about atonement. Deidre Nicole Green is Assistant Professor of Latter-day Saint/Mormon Studies at the GTU, where she offers courses on Christian theology and philosophy of religion. Her research focuses on constructive feminist theology and philosophy of religion, drawing on the thought of Søren Kierkegaard to respond to contemporary issues in these disciplines. She is co-editor with Eric D. Huntsman of Latter-day Saint Perspectives on Atonement. Prior to joining the GTU in 2022, Green was a postdoctoral researcher at the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship, Brigham Young University. She has held research fellowships in Copenhagen and Zürich and conducted ethnographic research in Botswana, Rwanda, and South Africa. Eric D. Huntsman received his BA in Classical Greek and Latin from Brigham Young University and his MA and PhD in Ancient History from the University of Pennsylvania. He joined the BYU faculty in 1994 in Classics and Ancient History, and then transferred to Religious Education in 2003, becoming a full professor of Ancient Scripture in 2015. From 2012 to 2012, he served as the coordinator of the Ancient Near Eastern Studies program in the Kenndy Center, and he has been serving as an associate director for academics at the BYU Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies since 2022. His publications focus on the New Testament Gospels, especially John, and on the Infancy and Passion Narratives (that is, Christmas and Easter!). Eric serves in the Provo Temple and sings with the Tabernacle Choir, and he and his wife Elaine are the parents of two children, Rachel and Samuel. Get the book.

Articles of News Below, but First: ANNOUNCING THE CULTURAL HALL BOOK CLUB! Our first meeting will be via Zoom in April, specific date TBD. That means you have plenty of time to read the book and get ready! It also means you have time to do the one required thing to be part of the discussion: BECOME A PATREON SAINT. Click Here to Purchase At One Ment by Thomas McConkie ABOUT THE BOOK: At the heart of the gospel is a radical message of hope: we are capable of unlimited development, of becoming even as Christ is. But what does this path of transformation look like and feel like in practice? For centuries, so much of Christianity has focused on what to believe. Thomas McConkie redirects this conversation to the simple but potent practices we can engage in body, heart, mind and spirit—awakening us to a greater measure of the Sacred right here and now. “At-one-ment” becomes a spiritual reality in which we can all participate, not just a historical event in which a select few believe. In a clear and elegant sequence, McConkie describes ancient and modern approaches to awakening the mind, purifying the heart and healing the body, as well as common challenges that come up along the way. Whatever the reader’s personal beliefs, this book is intended to complement their worldview and provide practical, actionable steps toward realizing a greater fullness of all that they are meant to become.

After his long and successful career as a coach and a high school administrator, Mark Hugentobler was “sentenced” to prison by his local school board. He became academy principal within the Central Utah Correctional Facility in Gunnison, Utah. Arriving at the “Island of Misfit Toys” he soon recognized that his perceptions of the prison system were completely inaccurate. He found a world without hope. He came to realize that the Department of Corrections was not, as most people think, doing all they could to help “correct” inmates. It became clear that the system was dysfunctional and was in fact helping inmates become better criminals rather than helping them become better people. He came to realize that most of those incarcerated there would readily receive help and wanted to change but could only do so by exercising extreme personal effort, overcoming countless obstacles present in the current system. He soon identified the vast, unexplored opportunities to help inmates: providing hope and purpose through education. He also gained the viewpoint of seeing prison life through an inmate’s eye, realizing the true story of life behind bars. During his eight years “down” he saw enrollment in the prison academy jump from 200 to nearly 1,200 students and enacted, firsthand, a model of the change that is possible in a broken system.

  George Handley is a professor of Interdisciplinary Humanities at Brigham Young University. His training is in Comparative Literature, focusing on the literatures of the Americas. His publications include two books on inter-american themes: “Postslavery Literatures in the Americas” (Virginia 2000), which is a study of the representation of slavery and family history in novels from the U.S. and the Caribbean, and “New World Poetics: Nature and the Adamic Imagination of Whitman, Neruda and Walcott” (Georgia, 2007), which is a critique of the imagination of nature in inter-american poetry. (hum.byu.edu) In George’s most recent book, Lowell L. Bennion: A Mormon Educator, he examines Bennion’s work against the background of a changing institution that once welcomed his common-sense articulation of LDS ideas and values but became discomfited by how his thought cast doubt on the Church’s beliefs about race and other issues.

Pastor Jeff Jeff McCullough is an Evangelical pastor who has spent the last year learning everything there is to know about Latter-day Saints and the Church. (Sarah Griffin, LDS Living) Pastor Jeff created a YouTube channel to chronicle his journal called Hello Saints. On his YouTube page, Jeff says that his channel is devoted to fighting criticism with curiosity as he invites dialogue between Christians and Mormons. Are Mormons Christians? What do Christians and Latter-day Saints agree and disagree about? (YouTube.com/hellosaints) Pastor Jeff released his first video in March of 2022. To his surprise (but not his wife’s) his videos now receive hundreds of thousands of views. To continue his journey, Jeff and his family have moved to Utah, and feels that his work is far from done. “Until and unless I feel that more people are getting in the game to maintain this space and to build bridges, I want to remain here. . . . I really feel that the ability to courageously and patiently stand in tension is so critical for truly meaningful relationships and a pursuit of truth,” Jeff says. “I think that’s where God works.” (LDS Living) Check out Kurt Francom on Leading Saints Check out Kurt Francom on This Week in Mormons Join us on Patreon!

McKay Coppins McKay Coppins is a staff writer at The Atlantic where he covers politics, religion, and national affairs. He is the author of The Wilderness: Deep Inside the Republican Party’s Combative, Contentious, Chaotic Quest to Take Back the White House, a book about the battle for the future of the Republican Party, and he has been a visiting fellow at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics. He won the Aldo Beckman Award from the White House Correspondents Association for his coverage of the Trump presidency, and the Wilbur Award for religion journalism. He lives near Washington, DC, with his wife and children. (Simonandschuster.com) He was previously a reporter for BuzzFeed News, where he covered two presidential campaigns, and Newsweek, where he co-authored a cover story on Mitt Romney and Mormonism. (isoj.org) About the Book Romney: A Reckoning: (GET IT HERE.) Few figures in American politics have seen more and said less than Mitt Romney. An outspoken dissident in Donald Trump’s GOP, he has made headlines in recent years for standing alone against the forces he believes are poisoning the party he once led. Romney was the first senator in history to vote to remove from office a president of his own party. When that president’s supporters went on to storm the U.S. Capitol, Romney delivered a thundering speech from the Senate floor accusing his fellow Republicans of stoking insurrection. Despite these moments of public courage, Romney has shared very little about what he’s witnessed behind the scenes over his three decades in politics—in GOP cloakrooms and caucus lunches, in his private meetings with Donald Trump and his family, in his dealings with John McCain, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Mitch McConnell, Joe Manchin, and Kyrsten Sinema. Now, exclusively for this biography, Romney has provided a window to his most private thoughts. Based on dozens of exclusive interviews with Romney, his family, and his inner circle as well as hundreds of pages of his personal journals and private emails, this in-depth portrait by award-winning journalist McKay Coppins shows a public servant authentically wrestling with the choices he has made over his career. In lively, revelatory detail, the book traces Romney’s early life and rise through the ranks of a fast-transforming Republican Party, and exposes how a trail of seemingly small compromises by political leaders has led to a crisis in democracy. Ultimately, Romney: A Reckoning is a redemptive story about a flawed politician who summoned his moral courage just as fear and divisiveness were overtaking American life.
