- Title
Facing Ahistory in the Community of Christ.
- Authors
Howard, Richard P.
- Abstract
The article recommends the optimal use and role of history in the institutional church and infers the need for Community of Christ to nurture fearless uses of its past. The adversarial approach taken by the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints historic site tour guides at Nauvoo and Kirtland during the 1940s and 1950s is discussed. The historical foundation of Mormonism from 1829 to 1935 is discussed. An example of a metaphorical corrective to the ahistorical foundation of the Community of Christ's three standard books of indigenous scripture is provided.
