Description:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Zsvm... is a video describing how to learn more about the Mormon Church.When members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon Church) were driven out of Missouri and Kirtland they traveled to Illinois where the settled in Commerce, renamed Nauvoo by the Mormons. They drained the swamps and established a beautiful city which swelled to a population of 20,000 by 1846. While in Nauvoo, hundreds of Mormon missionaries were sent on missions to the United States, England, and the Pacific Isles. Many thousands who joined the Church traveled to unite themselves with the Saints in Nauvoo. Only 15 months after founding Nauvoo Joseph Smith announced that it was time "to erect a house of prayer, a house of order, a house for the worship of our God, where the ordinances can be attended to agreeable to His divine will." Men donated each tenth day to work on the Mormon temple. Members sacrificed personal belongings to fund the project. For six years members of the Mormon Church "lived in relative peace, secure in the fact that a prophet walked and labored among them." But as Mormon history repeats itself this peace was short-lived as Nauvoo was seen as a political and economic threat by neighboring communities. Joseph Smith, his brother Hyrum, and other Church leaders were jailed in Carthage Jail. On 27 June 1844 a mob stormed the jail and Joseph Smith and Hyrum were killed. Thousands of Saints lined the street to mourn the loss of their prophet. Illinois Governor Thomas Ford wrote of the martyrdom: "The murder of the Smiths, instead of putting an end to ... the Mormons and dispersing them, as many believed it would, only bound them together closer than ever, gave them new confidence in their faith."All credit for this video is due to Seth Adam Smith, who created it and encourages others to share it.
