According to Orson Hyde, the fact that Brigham held the position of Joseph was apparent and did not require further proof. To Sidney Rigdon however, no such spiritual manifestation or transfiguration ever occurred.

In a letter to Brigham Young dated December 6, 1870 Rigdon wrote: O vain man. ... Did you suppose that your hypocritical and lying preten[s]e that the spirit of

Among the 15 million practicing Mormons, there are nearly 100,000 missionaries. Due to the recent stigmatization, Latter Day Saints are not as forthcoming about their faith.

The definition of a pioneer is one who goes before to prepare or open up the way for others to follow. The Mormon pioneers were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who migrated across the United States from the Midwest to the Salt Lake Valley in what is today the U.S. state of Utah. The movement of the Mormon pioneers was due to the founding of the mormon religion which began not long before their migration with a man named Joseph Smith on April 6, 1830 in Fayette, New

Joseph Smith Jr. founded the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or the Mormon Church, on April 6, 1830 in Fayette, New York. In the 1820s during the Second Awakening, Joseph Smith received a vision, known as the “First Vision,” in which God the Father and his son Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph and instructed him to join none of the existing churches because they were all wrong, and thus became the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. According to the cosmology of the religion, there

The Latter-day Saints, also known as the LDS Church, is a unique Christian denomination with a fascinating history and a distinctive set of beliefs and practices. Founded in the early 19th century by Joseph Smith, the LDS Church has grown to become a global religion with millions of members worldwide. Despite its relatively short history, the LDS Church has had a significant impact on American culture and society, and its teachings and practices continue to inspire and influence people around the

who practice Mormonism and represent the principle branch of the Church of Latter Day Saints (Heaton, 1992). The Mormon society is very communal and family traditions makeup a large part of the society’s norms. Geographically, the Mormon movement began with Joseph Smith in upstate New York in the 1820s but quickly moved to the Utah Territory in the mid-19th century and thus the center of Mormon culture resides in present day Utah (Heaton, 1992). Mormon culture and society place a high value on family

Shepherd”. By now you have noticed that I have been inserting scripture here and there from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Members of this church are commonly known as Mormons because of the Book of Mormon. Since I am borrowing from ‘Mormon’ scripture I feel compelled to explain why and to tell a little about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The same reasoning used to come to the conclusions reached so far have also led me to this church. Knowing that there is

Brigham Young was an interesting and perplexing character in Mormon history. A devoted follower of Joseph Smith Jr, Brigham managed to succeed him as Prophet President of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In his biography Pioneer Prophet, John G Turner proves that due to his upbringing, loyalty to Joseph, respect from the 12, and respect of the people allowed Brigham to claim the spot of Prophet in Joseph’s absence.

Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as Mormonism, started in the 1820s, founded by Joseph Smith.

Growing up in Mormon Utah, Atheists where hard to come by. In Salt Lake City, you will find a few scattered about college campuses and various coffee shops but in the suburbs of Layton where I grew up, it was almost impossible. In elementary school I believed in god, for me it was obvious. Why would so many people believe in a deity if he wasn’t there?
