Here at the Daily Herald we have the privilege of creating a lot of content for our readers that is fun, poignant, or interesting. But we rarely get a chance to work on a project that gives us all three. This year’s fall LDS Guide has been a blast and a pleasure for the whole team. We have had multiple planning sessions that just end up in the group of us (Genelle Pugmire, Jennifer Durrant, Lisa Kane, and myself) either laughing or crying remembering events that literally shaped our young lives.

We hope this section does the same for our readers. The two topics we look at in this first volume are the “focus on the family” and “lengthening your stride” — subjects that shaped both the ‘60s and ‘70s and the future of the LDS Church as a whole.

H E R A L D

As well as a terrific print section with touching content, there are “Do You Remember” sections and terrific timelines for each decade. We didn’t stop with print though! Please go online to www.heraldextra.com/ldsweek to look at amazing photo galleries of items and people that defined a generation, video’s like “Johnny Lingo” and “Man’s Search for Happiness” and prophet profiles of leaders such as Harold B. Lee and Joseph Fielding Smith. In the spring we will be looking back at the ‘80s and ‘90s, so feel free to email us with great ideas, memories and fun from those decades in the months to come.

is white hair, kind smile, gentle manners and love of people is what members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints remember when they think of President David O. McKay, the ninth president of the church. His monumental guideposts through his 20-year administration from 1951 to 1970, set the church in motion to be a worldwide beacon of safety and home. Whatever success the church had, one of the greatest efforts for President McKay was his focus on family.

It was his strong testimony and continual message that “no other success can compensate for failure in the home,” that continues to speak to the world today.

The 1995 Proclamation on the Family, released by the First Presidency some 30 years later, was further fulfillment of President McKay’s message to help parents and children understand their duty, what God’s laws are, and what

H E R A L D

he expects from his children.

In part the proclamation states: “The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity.

Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities.”

“David O. McKay’s ‘Success can never compensate for failure in the home’ was a statement that has remained in my heart since I first heard it,” said Orem resident Candace Salima. “A pure truth, we come to understand that the family unit is not just a mortal unit, but one that is eternal. As such, we must

Sunday, September 29, 2013

fight to keep our family together. If we fail our families, we fail everything.”

President McKay exemplified every word of what he preached.

He was devoted to his own family, particularly to his beloved wife Emma Ray. In fact, they were the first couple to be married in the Salt Lake Temple in the 20th century on January 2, 1901.

President McKay believed every couple and family should have the opportunity to cultivate heaven in the home. He took that love and message to the people of the world and was the first LDS Prophet to visit every continent. He visited more countries than all the other prophets combined, up to that point in church history.

In 1965, after decades of church leadership suggesting families meet

Sunday, September 29, 2013 once a week, President McKay solidified the Family Home Evening program.

Wards were encouraged to pick a night for families to meet and Family Home Evening manuals were distributed to each LDS home. It wasn’t until 1970 that Monday nights were set worldwide as Family Home Evening night.

“The home is the first and most effective place for children to learn the lessons of life: truth, honor, virtue, self-control; the value of education, honest work, and the purpose and privilege of life,” said President McKay in the 1968 Family Home Evening manual. “Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no other success can compensate for failure in the home.”

The church encouraged families to hold spiritual discussions, participate in wholesome activities and render service to keep family bonds secure.

“The Church History In the Fullness of Times Student Manual” states that President McKay emphasized the importance of home and family life as the source of happiness and the surest defense against the trials and temptations of modern life.

Much has changed in the world since President McKay uttered those words. The importance of the family has not.

A later Family Home Evening manual contained this promise: “Families who prayerfully prepare and constantly hold their weekly Home Evenings, and who work

D A I L Y

H E R A L D

together during the week to apply the lessons in their lives, will be blessed.

There will be better feelings between husband and wife, between parents and children, and among children. In such homes the Spirit of the Lord will be made manifest.”

From the 1960s through the next four decades Mormons were synonymous with family. The church drew more attention to family and family values from famous members of the church including the King Family, the Osmonds, the J. Willard Marriott family, Billy Casper, Johnny Miller, George Romney and son Mitt, the Jon Huntsman family and others.

The concept of families meeting one night a week has slowly been adopted by other churches and organizations.

It has been seen as a way to lower crime rates, improve school grades and strengthen communities. The concept also became a money-making venture for corporations including board game makers Hasbro and Milton Bradley as they promote family game nights.

While the importance of the family and the programs set for through Family Home Evening helped toward perfecting the saints, President McKay was also working on keeping genealogical records, dedicated temples, and improved missionary efforts.

In 1963 vaults blasted out of the granite mountains in Little Cottonwood Canyon were completed.

Over the years they would store millions of genealogical records and other documents and items significant to the church.

The granite vaults have since become a curiosity to the members of the church and fodder for several LDS urban legends.

On November 17 through 19, 1964, President McKay dedicated the church’s 13th temple in Oakland, Calif.

During his administration in the 1950s McKay also previously dedicated the Bern Switzerland, Los Angeles California, Hamilton New Zealand, and London England Temples.

On July 31, 1960, it was announced that young men would be able to start serving missions at age 19, even though they had not met educational or military qualifications that had been required. By June of 1961, the entire missionary program of the church had been revamped, the first conference for mission presidents was held and a new missionary teaching plan, including six lessons, was introduced.

In a bold move, Latter-day Saints

U

were introduced to the “Every Member a Missionary” program and put members on notice that they are part of the missionary effort. Within months missions throughout the world were divided into nine areas and a General Authority was assigned to administer each area.

It was under President McKay’s administration that church leadership was asked, in March 1960, to study church programs and curriculum in order to have better correlation between the groups.

In the History of the Church it states: “The Church also made other changes in order to more effectively correlate all programs and activities — including welfare, missionary, and family history work — to better accomplish the church’s mission.”

Home teaching, which had been part of the church since the time of Joseph Smith, was reemphasized in the 1960s as a way to help care for the spiritual and temporal needs of all church members.

Meetinghouse libraries were established to enhance teaching, and a teacher development program was also put in place.

hile post-Vietnam war slogans of the 1970s were encouraging people to “Hang Ten” or “Keep on Truckin,” President Spencer W. Kimball was asking members of the LDS Church to put on their running shoes and lengthen their stride.

President Kimball was short in height, but his spirit could fill any room. As twelfth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he was a leader to be reckoned with.

He was a prophet for the world. His mission was fixed and his message firm. Members must pick up the pace of building the kingdom worldwide, particularly through missionary work and temple building. The plaque on his desk said it best — “Do It.”

missionaries serving the church. And for those of missionary age currently not serving missions, he admonished they should make corrections in their life so they could serve a mission.

To help raise the bar and create successful missionaries an announcement was made in September 1978 that a four-week missionary training would occur for English-speaking missionaries.

They would join those learning during an eight-week course for foreign-language missions at the new Missionary Training Center in Provo.

The actual training of all missionaries at the MTC began Oct. 26, 1978.

From President Kimball’s personal biography it says: “In an address to Regional Representatives, President Kimball chose to speak on ‘lengthening your stride’ This phrase became a watch cry for Latter-day Saints the world over. Under President Kimball the church entered a new templebuilding phase. Plans for 31 new temples were announced during his administration.”

When he was ordained as the head of the church in 1973 there were 15 working temples. At the time of his death in 1985, there were 36 temples in operation and 11 in various stages of construction.

President Kimball once told then-Elder Gordon B. Hinckley, “My life is like my shoes — to be worn out in service.”

He hoped that members of the church would catch that same vision. His hope was to see up to 50,000 full-time

While President Kimball asked for members to lengthen their strides in missionary work and temple attendance, church leadership recognized it would be difficult to do at a time when many members around the world were still waiting for the opportunity to qualify to receive the Contuned on Page 10

priesthood, serve missions and enjoy temple blessings.

In the many renditions that have been told around the revelation on the priesthood, the one constant is that President Kimball and other leaders, past and present, toiled over the situation with blacks and the priesthood for a long time. Great study into the history and reasons why some were denied these blessings was done over several months and years.

On June 9, 1978, President Kimball received a revelation extending the priesthood to all worthy males regardless of race or color. He said that while pondering the subject, he often went to the temple. “I went there when I could be alone. I was very humble … I was searching for this … I wanted to be sure.”

President Kimball called a special meeting for the members of the Quorum of the Twelve. He said, “I offered the final prayer and I told the Lord if it wasn’t right, if He didn’t want this change to come in the Church, that I would be true to it all the rest of my life, and I’d fight the world against it if that’s what He wanted. We had this special prayer

circle; then I knew that the time had come. This revelation and assurance came to me so clearly that there was no question about it.”

Immediately following the revelation a statement was signed by the members of the First Presidency and released.

“He has heard our prayers, and by revelation has confirmed that the longpromised day has come when every faithful, worthy man in the church may receive the holy priesthood.” The news spread like wildfire through the U.S. and abroad. Within hours headlines were saying things like “Mormons give blacks priesthood” and “Mormon prophet claims to have had revelation.”

“I distinctly remember when we heard the news,” said Orem resident Candace Salima. “We were crammed into a car driving the three-and-a-half-hours back from Youth Conference when it

came on the radio. Oh, the excitement that radiated throughout my spirit. We were out on a desert highway in the middle of nowhere, but it felt as if the heavens had opened up and let the full light of Christ to shine on the whole world. It was an incredible feeling.”

Bonnie Pence of Orem recalls her excitement with the landmark announcement. “I was living in Georgia and we had a wonderful black man in our ward. When we heard the news we were so happy, and so happy that he would receive the priesthood. It was a joyous time in the south.”

Now missionary work could truly go to all the world and faithful people everywhere could enjoy the blessings that come with membership in the Lord’s kingdom.

Julie Jeppson Wright, a Utah Valley resident, remembers the wonderful feeling she had with the announcement of the revelation. “I was sitting in a travel agency where my mom worked. It was in the early evening.

The travel agents were talking about the revelation. I felt a calm peace. It was sort of a feeling that all is well in the world.”

Of all the ways members could lengthen their stride, this one event forever

changed the church in the eyes of the world and in the hearts of its members.

Since that time the growth of the church, particularly in Africa and Brazil, has been miraculous. While the church had been strong in white South Africa for many years the growth through Ghana, Nigeria, the Congo and elsewhere has lengthen the stride of the church on that continent. In just 35 years the church there has grown to 390,218 members, 22 missions, three temples with two more announced, and 180 family history centers.

According to LDS records, church membership in Brazil was about 3,700 in 1960. By the time the Sao Paulo Temple was dedicated in 1978 it had reached 58,000. After the revelation on the priesthood the work exploded throughout Brazil. In just 34 years the church in Brazil has grown to nearly 1.1 million members with 27 missions, five temples and two under construction.

With the LDS church predicting 80,000 missionaries by the end of the year, the dream President Kimball had of seeing a huge missionary force, as well as members of the church lengthening their stride all over the world continues to be fulfilled.

t has been more than 53 years since President David O. McKay, prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, established the official age of 19 for young men entering the mission feld.

Heralded at the time as remarkable growth for a modern-day church that had been established only 130 years previous, President McKay had reason to celebrate and help further his “Every member a missionary” slogan.

In 1963 missionaries totaled approximately 11,653 and worldwide church membership was rapidly nearing 1.7 million.

It was then President Spencer W. Kimball’s admonition for members to “lengthen their stride” that spurred on missionary work in the late ‘70s and

into the 1980s. But it was President Thomas S. Monson’s October 2012 announcement lowering the missionary age that has thousands of young adults and their families buzzing with excitement about entering the mission field.

Now, more than half a century after President McKay’s still-used missionary motto, the number of full-time Latter-day Saint missionaries — entering the mission field at the newly announced ages of 18 for men and 19 for women — is expected to reach 80,000 by the end of this year, reaching the established 405 missions throughout the world.

At the time of President Monson’s announcement last year, there were approximately 55,410 full-time missionaries. With an increase of nearly 25,000 missionaries since that announcement heard around the world, President Kimball’s “Do It” attitude remains in the minds of eager and faithful church members.

Temple work and temple construction, too, has significantly changed over the past 50 years.

During President McKay’s 20-year presidency he dedicated just five temples for a total of 13 in operation by 1970, including the first three temples to be built outside the United States and Canada.

The total number of temples dedicated at the time of President Kimball’s death was 36 with locations as far away as South Africa, Australia, Tahiti and beyond.

Currently, the church counts 141 temples either currently in operation, being renovated or under construction. A stark contrast to the handful of temples in operation during the ‘60s and ’70s.

It was under President McKay’s direction that films were created for use in the temple endowment sessions, allowing the ordinances to be translated into various languages.

At the beginning of August this year a new movie was released to all the temples worldwide — a slightly longer version allowing for even more translation possibilities.

It was also during President McKay’s administration that Latter-day Saints

were counseled to focus on the family unit — strengthening familial bonds and furthering gospel education in the home through the establishment of Family Home Evening.

During those last five decades, as divorce and domestic violence rates and the number of unwed mothers continue to soar, the church’s focus on family life has strengthened even further. It was in 1995 that the First Presidency released The Family: A Proclamation to the World reaffirming the sanctity of marriage and divine blessing of families.

Within the secular world, over the last several years, there have been many studies reflecting the

importance of strong family bonds, bonds forged through regular, planned and scheduled, evenings spent together.

In fact, according to a recent survey conducted by board game creator Hasbro, nearly half (48 percent) of Americans believe that a family game night is the most enjoyable form of family bonding, ranking higher than watching movies (22 percent), cooking (19 percent) and playing sports together (9 percent).

15

H E R A L D Fellow game maker Milton Bradley also supports a family night once a week and offers a Family Game Night kit that includes Scrabble, Sorry, Clue and Yahtzee.

While times certainly have changed around the world and even within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints over the past half-century, the priorities of the church with emphasis on missionary work, importance of families and the building of

temples has remained a constant, even growing and expanding to astonishing heights.

In the second volume of this LDS Guide, slated for publication just prior to the 2014 Spring General Conference, The Daily Herald will further explore the inspirations, guidance, events and prophets that have led us through the 1980s, ‘90s and first decade of 2000. — Genelle Pugmire contributed to this article

Matt Collins, vice president of marketing for Hasbro Games said, “Family game night invites everyone to turn off the outside world for a short time and reconnect with each other.�
