I swear this man could talk for an hour about flower arranging and I would still listen to him.

Everything he says is 100% interesting. Kind of amazing.

Thank you! Very clear and concise presentation with really helpful graphic organizers. A great starting point for me to get a handle on actual LDS history after years and years of getting very watered-down biased bits in sunday school classes. I'll be looking for more related content, thanks. (Also, I'd totally buy one of those Centre Place tanks if they became available, haha.)

I recommend “RoughStone Rolling “ by Richard Bushman and “No Man Knows My History “ by Fawn Brodie.

There are two separate multivolume histories of the Latter-day Saint church. If you don't want watered down theb get reading. The LDS website has lots of source documents available. Why would you get your information from this guy when you can go to the source. This guy can't even get the name correct.

What a nice guy. I like how he can joke about his shirt near the end. So is this what happens in a Unitarian universalist church too? I have my own religion and don't want to change but I love learning this stuff academically. If they are just like this, then it would be cool to go

UUs are more liberal than CoC but similar. CoC still considers itself Christian, while we consider ourselves religiously liberal. Also whole both are non credal that is a bigger emphasis in UU, to the point we don't even offer any sort of statement about generally accepted theology, relying on a purely covenantal model of organization

Lectures would be similar. Our liturgy would also be somewhat similar but more open in where we draw from and a very slight difference in flow due to differing liturgical histories.

binging Centre Place content has been informative. TY

36:30 I find it amazing that the early LDS Church immortalized its org chart via architecture.

Was that Kirkland temple made from rubble? I thought it was made from quarried sandstone.

Also, the “sisters” donated their beautiful china that was brought across the plains from their origins in England.

You are a great historian

John thank you very much. This is an amazing history for people that are not familiar with it. Even for people who have been in the church for years this is great. And the fantastic thing is that it still continuing today. No matter what you think about the book of Mormon or Joseph Smith this church is an amazing feat. A few years ago I was in India and went to church in Delhi there were 12 missionaries there in the wards meeting there and 11 of them were native Indians along with the one pale face elder from the US.

Can you list references for the practice of polygamy argument? If you bring this up to the church they dismiss it as rumors.

Encourage you all read “No Man Knows My History “ by Fawn Brodie and “ Rough Stone Rolling” by Richard Bushman. Both are well documented. Enjoy

Fawn Brodie?

Don't worry. The police will catch the guy that stole your sleeves.

In the New Testament, who led the church after Jesus died?

We explore that topic in our lecture "The Historical Apostles" kzread.info/dash/bejne/mKp3wcmEfqa7e7Q.html

Let's get this right: 1) First there was the axe of the apostles then 2) George Washington's axe, then 3) Joseph Smith's (Washington having changed his name to Smith to avoid Paparazzi)

Yes, my wife told me there has been a new edition out in very recent years.

For John, this is a pretty perfunctory & almost infrastructural history- all about buildings & land. One hopes the CofC history next week has more soul & energy.

Such a nasty comment

Dude get a haircut and put on a collared sirt, IF, you want to be taken really serious. Because, you have great info, but c'mon with this look you got going on😂

In spite of the Venus star, tower, and 6-spiral symbolism used I gave this a chance till 5:50 before error occurred. I'm not protestant but have that background. Yes baptists existed as a thing yes further sects solidified and changed over time but I mean the Anabaptist stuff is from the 16th c. Early America(of which Canadians' history is intertwined in the early periods) had Established churches in the plantations(word for a planting of ppl - like a distinct polity Not applying to a private plot w a mansion and crops and bondsmen that latter usage comes much later)/colonies. So right off the bat you're not correct. Do I have the patience for more? I guess we'll see if I wind up w further comments.

This guy actually believes in god how quaint
