LDS Church Opposes Idaho Abortion Act, Sacrament Meeting Statement Issued | Ep. 208
From the video introduction:
“A memo has gone out to bishoprics and stake presidencies and branch presidencies in Idaho, advocating for them to read a document over the pulpit that encourages members to oppose a certain piece of legislation in Idaho. We’re going to be talking about what that is and why they’re encouraging members to go out in staunch opposition toward this.
Also, some incredible words were shared by the President of the Church, Dallin H. Oaks, in a discourse that he gave at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. That heavily relates to some principles that we find in the Book of Mormon about how we should find success in governing the people.
All this and more. My name is Jackson Wayne Paul, and welcome to Latter Daily Saints.”

What really happened at Mountain Meadows? And what can the newest historical research tell us about one of the darkest and most misunderstood events in Latter-day Saint history?
In this special three-part series of Restoration Revealed, host Casey Griffiths is joined by acclaimed historian Barbara Brown, an extremely credible voice on the latest research surrounding the Mountain Meadows Massacre. She is a coauthor with historian Richard Turley of the definitive book on the Massacre: Vengeance Is Mine, published in 2023. Barbara and Casey take a fresh look at the people, events, evidence, and historical record surrounding the tragedy of September 1857.
But there’s more to this story than what you may have heard before. Barbara brings new research, previously unexplored evidence, and never-before-heard details that shed additional light on what happened, why it happened, and how the story has been remembered and interpreted over the generations.
Across three episodes, Casey and Barbara will move beyond familiar narratives to examine the historical record and ask difficult questions: Who was responsible? What did Church leaders know? What was happening on the ground in southern Utah? And what does the most recent scholarship reveal about the tragedy?
This is history worth revisiting—and a story where the details matter.
Watch all three parts of this in-depth Restoration Revealed series and discover what the newest research tells us about Mountain Meadows.
