- Short documentary "Community of Christ - A People on the Move". The video was filmed during the World Conference 2019 in April at the 25th anniversary of the dedication of the Temple to the pursuit of peace. It provides a tour of the Temple in Independence, Missouri and explores the significance of the Temple and its place in Community of Christ. The video documentary features interviews with Church President Steve Veazey, Apostles Robin Linkhart and Lach Mackay, as well as David Anderson and Andrew Bolton.
I am not CoC or any restoration church but I'm very interested in the history of these churches. I went to this beautiful temple in 2015. It was a wonderful visit.
Best to avoid the cult religion.
Coming from the LDS side of things. I love learning about our brothers and sisters of the restoration. I hope they see us the same way!
I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I have not learned much about the Community of Christ Church until recently. My church bought some property that's been lovingly cared for by CoC for many years, including the Kirkland Temple and other buildings important to our shared history. I was so moved by this video and am looking forward to learning about this "cousin" church of mine. I'm probably related to many of the members as a descendant of Hyrum Smith from his first wife Jerusha Barden Smith. I am so sad that I didn't have much interest in visiting this temple when I was visiting Independence over a decade ago. It looks like a beautiful, spiritual place.
I´m LDS, for second genetration, i from México.
My friend recently became Mormon (LDS), and I've been spending some free time learning about the Latter Day Saint movement- it's quite interesting to see how different groups have developed so differently, despite a common origin.
The LDS church has 17 million members worldwide. Community of Christ has around 250,000. There are other slinter groups with even fewer members.
What a blessing this video is for seekers and life-long church members! Being fifth generation Community of Christ, I am so proud, comforted, and humbled by the vision and dedication of our people. We share the joy, hope, love, and peace of Jesus with all, a true inspiration for the world. Keep letting your lights shine! Shalom :)
So the RLDS chruch changed their name to the Community of Christ and denounced the Book of Mormon as scripture and have females as apostles. Interesting..
I strongly felt God's Holy Ghost, during the whole length of this video, making me to cry at the end, where the singing started.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for leaving a comment!
An excellent insight into Community of Christ past, present and future. Beautifully photographed and edited. Thank you Elray and Magnus for your care and attention to your subject. I will be sharing this at our Heritage Day service on Sunday. Perfect timing!
There's a great book by an LDS author that shows that there's perfect harmony between the prophetic statements concerning the garden of Eden being in Missouri and the Old Testament account concerning the garden of Eden. It's called Canaan, Babylon, and Egypt A Comparative Theological Analysis on Creation sold by Eborn Books.
Your Idea of what Joseph Smith revelead is confused.
Perhaps confusing to hear a different narrative?
@@elrayshopefulthinking no. Your narrative of Joseph Smith is basically invented by you guys. For example Joseph Smith taught that Heavenly father, the Son ad the Holy Ghost are three diffrent Beings. How can you guys still believe in Trinity? And Joseph Smith taught about baptism for the dead. How can you guys just don't practice it. Joseph Smith ideology of Christianity is clear you can't just change it. You don't even believe that Joseph Smith was a poligamist but historians taught that Joseph Smith practiced poligamy. You can still believe what you want but the truth is far from you guys. To Joseph Smith was reveled that the name of the church in the last days is The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-days saints how can you guys call yourself the comunity of christ? No wonder why the 98% of those who believe in Joseph Smith revelations belong to the LDS church.
There's a glass pyramid in Rome called the Palace of peace and reconciliation 💟💟 It's not very far from the pantheon, which looks a little similar to the auditorium over there in Independence 🤔
Thank you to those who put this together for us to share near and wide.
très beau documentaire et très belle présentation de cette Communauté religieuse
The Community of Christ/RLDS was founded on the principle that every prophet must descend from Joseph Smith Jr. That's gone. The CofC church was founded on the principles taught and organized by Joseph Smith Jr. That's gone. They should be honest with themselves and call themselves Protestant Christians and do away with anything Joseph Smith taught and organized as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the church Joseph Smith Jr. organized and presided over and carries on today.
The problem is that any church ( LDS, RLDS, Temple-Lot, FLDS, Brickertonites (sp?), Apostolic United Brethern, Cutlerites, Strangites, and more) that is from Joseph Smith Jr. is related to and at times agreeing with his lies, heresies, and false doctrine. The RLDS id not as well known as the Utah LDS, yet the RLDS really need to rethink if they want to be part of a movement that said that ALL other church were accursed in God's eyes.
We can agree to disagree, Peace!
That isn't accurate. It continued for it's formative years with Prophets descended from Joseph Jr. It is not a principle that they MUST descend from the first Restoration Prophet. It is telling that you think they SHOULD do away with Joseph Smith. You are showing gross ignorance of Protestantism and Community of Christ. The Community of Christ is far closer to what Joseph Jr brought forth. The Church continues to canonize revelation in the Doctrine and Covenants. Something alien to Protestantism and long abandoned by the Utah LDS church.
The BOM was translated and when it was rewritten _ Smith took out Ruth _ who was high priest _ he rewrote the Bible to take out women ,_
He took out Christ being the foundation of the church _ and formed the Mormons with the foundation of the church built on him and his multiple wives _
If you look at Mormon videos _ Smith replaces christ _ they show Smith being told to build the church _ Smith as the foundation _ then the baptism of Smith _ videos _ and instead of videos of christ on the cross _ they made videos of Smith dieing in jail and they morn his death__
They replaced christ to honor Smith _ which what Smith was full of himself _ Smith lead his group to deny christ and his teachings _ when a org religion is founded by Joseph Smith _ his teachings of shunning is followed and taught which is not christ based _ same with JW founded by Tazz Russell _ they are founded on the Foundation of christ and their org group shuns as well __ JW take it further they don't celebrate or acknowledge christ was born _ they say he was a prophet__ they do however celebrate christ death __ and resurrection or Easter as far as christ dieing for sins _ they deny it __
The shunning comes from both these org religion when you seek out christ __
and knowledge of him_ to Mormons its denial of Smiths Revelations
In JW it's denial of thier basic belief christ as a prophet _ both teach co dependence on members to their male authority _ and what they want you to believe any reading of Bible on your own is not incourqged and considered worldly ___and the Priesthood members in both org can tell members that read Bibles _ from outside thier org __ both org have their own version _ so when a member stays _ and ask questions they targets for shunning
The JW practice denial of christ by ignoring christ birth ,_ not celebrating it and their priesthood going through the Bible to make impossible rules for members to follow with the idea to keep them co dependent from the abuse
Shunning totally _ are done from signs that a members is acting out from the abuse or sexually molested _
By teens becoming sexually active _ drug use and addiction _ when those things come up _ the priesthood on both Mormonism and JW _ tell the families to shun because they signs the teen was sexually molested __ and the Priesthood get scared want them away _ from the group because they get scared __
Loved Hearing My Cultures Music in the video!
" . . . a once violent church repenting to become a peace church." Question: In Nauvoo and in northern Missouri, were we simply expected to lie down and be slain by those who wanted us dead, not protecting our children and our spouses? I do not believe that Jesus, the Prince of Peace expected that of our forebears. If our early people were totally wiped out, would this movement even exist today at all
?
It went beyond mere self defense and you know that. The rape of Daviess county by Danites and Mormon milita saw innocent stores looted, barns razed, and friend and foe to the church alike caught in the cross fire.
love it!
What a weird anticapitalist flex at the end there
Great video thanks for making it and sharing.
Love, light and joy
Bro. Elray, thank you for your work!
Well done.
excellent
I think his point at 13:11 is a far stretch.
Thank you for watching and for your comment. I am curious to why?
❤️
I’m from the Brigham/Utah branch of the LDS church. I love hearing your story! I feel like we are long lost cousins. I want to visit your church!!!
You speak with the spirit and with the authority of angels❤️ Do you use any books besides the BofM that I could read?
You might want to check out Community of Christ's own version of the Doctrine and Covenants, especially the sections starting from 156 onwards.
Peace Projects thanks. I will
Gospel tangents is a great RUclips channel exploring all things LDS and LDS related. John Hamer has great vids too
As someone who was baptized in this church I have a hard time with how left leaning it has become. It keeps me away 😔. Once I heard how he said how evil capitalism is ,that just made it even more clear.
You realize there will be no capitalism in the Millennium?-the United Order is the way the Lord wants us to live, not capitalism.
Is hundreds of millions killed by it not evidence enough?
