Recovery from Mormonism (RfM) discussion forum.
The Southern Utah Ex/PostMormon Association will host Devery Scott Anderson to lecture on his research and new book presenting the evolution of the endowment ceremony.
Devery Anderson's research is significant in light of LDS scripture and teachings of Church leaders:
The Prophet Joseph Smith taught: “Ordinances instituted in the heavens before the foundation of the world, in the priesthood, for the salvation of men, are not to be altered or changed. All must be saved on the same principles.” Dennis B. Neuenschwander, “Ordinances and Covenants,” Ensign, Aug. 2001, 20
Alma 41:8 Now, the decrees of God are unalterable; therefore, the way is prepared that whosoever will may walk therein and be saved.
Devery Scott Anderson has brought together a comprehensive collection of official documents on temple ceremonies, limited only by what would be inappropriate to discuss publicly. The documents include rulings by the First Presidency on changes to the ceremonies, letters to temple and stake presidents and bishops reminding them of temple policies, minutes of Quorum of the Twelve meetings, excerpts from sermons and Church publications, and commentary by apostles and temple presidents in diaries, letters, oral histories, and temple scrapbooks.
Devery Anderson will lecture May 1st, 2 PM at the New Lexington Hotel 850 S. Bluff St. St. George Utah. This should be a block buster lecture and Spring has come to Utah's Dixie, come and enjoy meeting fellow Ex/Postmo's.
This will be our last lecture for winter taking a break for the summer.
Refreshments will be provided. For further information contact SoUTSkeptic soutposmormons@hotmail.com
