7.7 Modernity vs. retrenchment

We’re back from summer and let's keep this season going! Today we focus on Chapter 6, The Perils of Reform: 1920-1945, from Benjamin Park’s book: American Zion. Many threads connect the topics, but the contest between the modernity of the early part of the 20th century and resistance to change mark the struggle for the LDS church at this time. Join us!

There are plenty of other things you can get at the soda fountains without drinking that which is injurious. The Lord does not want you to use any drug that creates an appetite for itself.” -Heber J Grant, April 1921 https://ldsfreedomforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=8061 Heber J Grant: stories of baseball and penmanship are here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heber_J._Grant Welfare and Self Reliance https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/topic/welfare-and-self-reliance Fawn M.
