043 Community of Christ, the "other Mormons," revelation, and the gay agenda

from The Church Hoppers Podcast · host Anonymous

This week we visit the second largest group to come from Joseph Smith's movement.  Formerly they were known as "The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" or RLDS, but since 2001 they have been known as "Community of Christ."  We discuss the strange and intriguing history of this "not the Utah Mormons!" sect that, today, ordains women, is ok with gay marriage in many places, and no longer believes it is the "One True Church" (TM, all rights reserved).  We talk about their temple in Independence, Missouri (in the place where Joseph Smith said it would be) that is open to the public and dedicated to peace.  We talk about how a sect with such an unusual history has a pretty normal church service and we converse about our experience in one small congregation.  Finally (about the last 15 minutes of the episode, in fact), Joshua asks some members how they feel about marrying gay people and that's when it got interesting...For a more OFFICIAL view of the Community of Christ, visit their website at cofchrist.org
