D&C Changes

"no clear insights" my eye. The entire intro represents significant progress but we still aren't being honest.

That's my initial reaction, too.

Thanks for linking. It is really cool that the church released a complete side-by-side list of the changes. If you are cynical, you will say that they were just beating others to the punch, as it was bound to happen soon anyway, but it is still cool.

I agree with the post that the intro to OD2 is very interesting. Especially the part that says

Helpful that my lesson is on the restoration of the priesthood.

I take it back. It was my friend that wrote it.

I'm pretty excited about this and will probably devote half of my GD classtime on Sunday to this. I like Shaka's friend's take on this. Great link.

You and me both. Completely redoing my lesson. This is a good thing.

[Shaka]

The blogger isn't my friend. She's simply the one who shared the article.

[Pelado]

Very cool.

Early in its history, Church leaders stopped conferring the priesthood on black males of African descent. Church records offer no clear insights into the origins of this practice. Church leaders believed that a revelation from God was needed to alter this practice and prayerfully sought guidance.

I have a friend that is part of the new breed of LDS historian and a BYU professor. She's not too long in the tooth but has started publishing some articles mostly revolving around LDS women. Currently she's doing research in England I think.

She posted this on Facebook today and was pretty excited about it. I thought some of you might find it interesting.
