I chose a community that is an essential part of my life. It was fascinating to view this community from a sociological stand point.

The church has made many changes. Some little and some huge in it's history.

The church's history has always been influenced by it's environment. Mostly from those around them, and not necessarily the actual earth. They have moved often because they have not been wanted, finally settling in Utah.

Is living the law of consecration possible?

Orderville was named after the economy it tried to live by, the United Order. The type of economy is socialist. In the church's vocabulary it is called the law of consecration. "Individuals shared property, goods, and profits, receiving these things according to their wants and needs." (Seariac)

5. Garments with sleeves extending to the elbow and knees, rather than the wrist and ankles, became available for everyday use. (1923)

6. Full-body garments were no longer required for temple worship. (1975)

7. Two-piece garments became available during the 1970s. Later adjustments were made to temple garment styles, the most recent in 2019.

One cup for Everyone?

The Church began incorporating individual sacrament cups for members to drink from instead of one communal cup. (1919). This was brought about because of a petition from the members of the church. Concern for health and hygiene was the driving force for this policy change.

Ordain Women Social Movement

I believe the church is slow to change in regards to gender because of principle's that are believed. The principles believed are not the issue at hand, I think. The issue is how to go about living them in a socially acceptable way. The church moves more slowly at a leadership level than society changes, and therefore some policies, or beliefs that were at one point socially acceptable are no longer that way.

November 2015 Policy

lorireeve — 2024-08-15 02:36:09 UTC

This policy strikes me as astonishingly similar to the policy held in the 80's about Black men not being aloud to hold the priesthood. This policy was reversed in 2019. For the church that is very quick.

It was a very devastating policy for all members to learn about and in response many members LGBTQ+ and non LGBTQ+ alike chose to remove their names and records from the church.

Panic of 1893

The church was in financial distress which the Panicof 1893 didn't help. By 1898, the church was $2.3 million in debt. The president of the church during the 50's and 60's eventually let the leader go that made created a $32 million deficit and reigned in spending.
