Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Part 1
Manage episode 520841900 series 2883860
Grab a beer and join us tonight as we kick off our FLDS series by going all the way back to the birth of Joseph Smith Jr. We’ll talk about his family’s mix of homegrown religion and folk magic, the revivals that swept through upstate New York, and how Joseph said he started seeing visions and eventually dug up gold plates that became the Book of Mormon. Then we’ll follow him as he organizes the early church, gathers converts in Ohio and Missouri, survives violence and failed banking schemes, and builds Nauvoo into a powerful Mormon city with its own courts, militia, and serious political clout. Finally, we’ll get into the early temple rituals and quiet talk of plural marriage starting to go around Nauvoo.
