Constant, Yet Ever-Changing

Whether members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are participating in General Conference digitally, or sitting in the historic Tabernacle on Temple Square during the 1800s, the anticipation of change has always existed in the Church. We are familiar with the inspired modifications taking place today in the Church, but we might not be as familiar with many of the unique alterations during the pioneer years and late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Primar-aged children performing baptisms for the dead? The Rag Mission? Baptisms for healing? Worthy black brothers holding the priesthood? Women administrations? Twelve-year-olds sealed as husband and wife in the temple? Yes, though hard to believe, these and much more! Once you've studied this book, you'll understand that change has always played a role in the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and it will continue to be an important and necessary aspect of the Lord's organization well into the future.
