Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Brand new hardcover book! Never been read!; BEST DOCUMENTARY BOOK AWARD, MORMON HISTORY ASSOCIATION Meetings of the LDS First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles are closed to outsiders. Yet apostles at the turn of the century kept detailed notes until ordered to stop by church president Joseph F. Smith. To date, the only such minutes available--and a priceless window on the inner-workings of the church hierarchy--are those found in the diaries of Rudger Clawson, published for the first time in A Ministry of Meetings. Clawson tells of how the fifteen church leaders held weekly prayers around an altar, dressed in robes; shared a sacrament of wine; and then engaged in heated discussions over church finances, doctrine, and policy. President Smith decided in 1902 that it would not be "wise and prudent to [continue to] show our hand in [financial] matters, " saying it excited "covetousness and criticism" among church members. The previous year Clawson recorded salary "appropriations to church authorities" at $89,000, compared to "$41,000 appropriated for the poor. " The most volatile disagreements centered on polygamy, which the church renounced in 1890, though leaders continued to perform marriages in secret. In 1903 Apostle Marriner Merrill "bore testimony to the truth of the principle of plural marriage and said that the brethren of the Twelve should . . . Not wait until old age comes on. Brethren, he said, do not neglect your opportunities. " Ten months later Clawson, forty-seven years old, took another polygamous wife, Pearl Udall, who was twenty-four years of age. Apostle Abraham Woodruff "was pleased to think that we could safely speak our thoughts to one another and could feel that our confidences would be held sacred, even if we were called before the courts of the land. " Apostle Francis Lyman agreed: "We live in a delicate time and need to be wise and prudent in all things. No more cogs should be allowed to slip. The brethren present should be clear on this point. " When Smith decided that "many things were written in private diaries which, if they fall into the hands of the enemy, might bring trouble upon the church, " Clawson regreted the prohibition on further note taking "exceedingly.
