A Voice in the Wilderness


Book Description

In April 1888, Andrew Jenson, Danish immigrant and convert to the Mormon faith, received an unexpected invitation from church leaders to speak at their general conference. Jenson was an outsider to this conference tradition, a layman whose only standing before the main body of Latter-day Saints came from a contracted position with the Church Historian's Office. Forty-two years later, in April 1930, Jenson offered his twenty-eighth and final general conference sermon. He had become the voice of institutional record keeping in his over forty-year career as an Assistant Church Historian. His sermons demonstrated the growth and expansion of the Mormon general conference tradition in the twentieth century, as they placed the Latter-day Saint story front and center for church members to learn from and celebrate. In addition, Jenson urged conference goers to keep better personal and institutional records and believed he was often the solitary advocate for church record keeping and historical preservation. A Voice in the Wilderness presents all twenty-eight of Andrew Jenson's general conference sermons, with introductions and annotations that set them within their historical and religious contexts. His speeches capture a unique period in Mormon history, one of institutional change, accommodation, and growth. This study of Jenson's sermons uncovers the richness and diversity that thrives just beneath the surface of official ecclesiastical discourse.

General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints


Book Description

Excerpt from General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: Seventy-Seventh Semi-Annual Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Convened in the Tabernacle, Salt Lake City, at 10 A. M. On Friday, October 5th, 1906 I was going to say that we did not owe anything to our enemies; that was the first thought that sprang up in my mind, but I will bold that back. I think we owe something to our enemies too for the advancement of the cause of Zion; for up to date everything that has been done or attempted to be done to thwart the purposes of God and to frustrate His designs has been overruled for the good of Zion and for the spread of truth. And that will continue to be the case um til the end, for they are fighting God's work, and not mine nor that of any man.
