Mormons & Mormonism: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
Mormonism - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Read about history, theology, discrimination, and more. An American original, they are having increasing influence in American politics and culture - for example spending millions to oppose same-sex marriage.
According to devout believers, the Book of Mormon is a record of the early history of the American Indian descendants of Lehi, a Hebrew who migrated with his family to the New World around 600 B.C. This is the thesis that they have committed themselves to defending and they have certainly put in a lot of work to achieving this goal - but what if modern science is able to refute it entirely?
Today the Mormon Church is one of the foremost opponents of same-sex marriage. What makes this interesting is that over century ago, the Mormons were in the middle of another national debate over the nature of marriage - but on the other side. At the time, they vigorously defended their own 'alternative' lifestyle. My, how things have changed.
