The Shakers and The Strange Spirits

from Filling in the History · host Ryan Wood

Leman Copley joins the Church and brings some of his beliefs from the Shakers with him. Section 49 is given to attempt to correct some of these beliefs and, potentially, convert his congregation. That revelation was not well received. At the same time some very strange things are happening in Kirtland and trying to sort out what all of it means leads to section 50. Tensions are a little high and good and bad things come from it. It's May of 1831.
