Jesus for Mormons #43: Mormon Racism, from God or Man?
In this episode of Jesus for Mormons, Kai Van Leuven and Pastor Di examine the Mormon Church's controversial history with race, focusing on its past teachings about Black members, including the priesthood ban that wasn't lifted until 1978 and its reluctance to open missions in Africa during the Civil Rights Movement. It critiques the hypocrisy of the church's token support for civil rights while denying Black members key privileges, such as eternal family sealing and priesthood. The speaker, a descendant of Brigham Young, reflects on the damaging racist teachings of the past, including the belief that skin color was tied to spiritual failure. They contrast the Mormon Church's exclusionary stance with the inclusivity of the Azusa Street Revival and discuss the dangers of blind loyalty to religious leaders, encouraging a more personal, critical, and direct relationship with God for spiritual renewal.
