When 300 to
400 Pima natives came to Elder Daniel Webster Jones desiring to be baptized,
what did he do?
a.
Baptized them
b.
Taught them
c.
Encouraged them to join the Catholics
d.
Discouraged them from being baptized
Yesterday’s
answer:
A.
Converted to the LDS church but had their infants baptized in the
Lutheran Church
The
rituals of the dominant religion, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark,
were a pervasive feature of the social lives of communities and extended
families. Latter-day Saints in Arhus sometimes tried to turn back to
Lutheranism for special occasions, letting their infants be baptized in the
Lutheran Church and asking Lutheran clergy to conduct family funerals.
[Frederik Ferdinand] Samuelsen condemned such halfway measures as hypocrisy and
called upon the members of his local congregation to cease. He also warned one
of the members of the congregation whom he visited regularly as teacher that,
if he continued to embrace spiritualism, he would be excommunicated.
