Racial Lineage and Discrimination in the Mormon Church
This chapter explores the discrepancies in declaring lineage by patriarchs in the Mormon church across regions like South Africa and Brazil, leading to conflicts over patriarchal blessings and genealogy practices. It discusses instances of discrimination based on ancestry, challenges faced by members with African lineage, and the disparity in treatment within the church hierarchy. The chapter also addresses the ethical implications of selectively distributing the priesthood and the inconsistencies in decision-making processes within the church leadership.
