Bush shows I think that virtually all of the historical arguments used to justify the ban were pretty flawed. That strikes me as an important first step, but myboynoah suggestion is more directly a case study of how articles like that influenced things. Still, Bush's article is online. P.S. To make sure I don't give the wrong impression. Both the Lord and Spencer W. Kimball deserve most of the credit. Last edited by pelagius; 04-12-2007 at 09:22 PM. |

Maybe yes, but my sense is that like all prophets he made inquires about the troubles and points of contention of his day. As a member of the church I would not presume to tell a leader what he should do, but I think it is perfectly appropriate to bring issues to our leaders for their consideration.

He is a 20th century protestant theologian. That's got to be alternative. I think the case can be made that Barth had a dramatic effect on the way church members talk about salvation and grace (Jay, for example). I think Barth had a definite influence on what is often termed "Mormon Neo-Orthodoxy." Last edited by pelagius; 04-12-2007 at 10:46 PM. |
