Navigating Racial Issues in the Mid-20th Century Church
The chapter delves into the complexities faced by the Mormon Church in the mid-20th century regarding racial teachings and priesthood ordination for individuals with African ancestry. It explores challenging questions raised by a secret report, an anecdote of a Brazilian branch president discovering his African ancestry, and the struggles of missionaries in apartheid-era South Africa. The chapter also touches on issues with patriarchal blessings and lineage declaration for black and biracial individuals before and after the 1978 revelation lifting the ban on black men holding the priesthood.
