Latter-Day Saints in Washington, DC
No Customer Reviews
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has an important history in Washington, DC. With the exception of cities where the Church has been headquartered, it can be argued that no American city has had more influence on the history of the Church than the nation's capital. This volume takes a fresh look at the history, people, and places in Washington, DC, that have affected the Church. Beginning with Joseph Smith's earliest interactions with the federal government in the 1830s, the Church's progress has been shaped by leaders and members interacting in Washington. In 2019, faculty from the Department of Church History and Doctrine at Brigham Young University traveled to Washington to study that history. This volume is filled with their essays on many of the topics they explored. Latter-day Saints in Washington, DC helps readers appreciate the sometimes complicated yet cooperative relationship between the Church and the federal government. It chronicles many of the Saints and statesmen who have worked to bring the Church out of obscurity and onto a national and international stage.
