Understanding Joseph Smith

While not a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints community of faith myself, I believe heaven gave a revelation to Joseph Smith and that he obediently followed his calling and created the Church and its basic beliefs. It has played and continues to play a critically important role in American history and God's providence. The evidence of God's hand is all over it. The holiness of the family; the sanctity of human life; the eternal nature of love and marriage; virtue and love of Country based on God; service and sacrifice and investment in one's fellow man. It's all holiness. It's all Godliness.

I want to help as a catalyst for improvement and see their beautiful culture integrate into the fabric of God's bigger family, thereby adding their benefits for the greater good. I want to see their goodness and virtue become contagious and become adopted more freely by other communities of faith. As much as it is of God, everyone will surely benefit from such a communion.
