An apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons)
addressed students at Harvard Law School on Tuesday during the annual
Mormonism 101 series sponsored by the school's Latter-day Saint Student
Association.
In Harvard’s historic Langdell Hall, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum
of the Twelve Apostles spoke to a religiously diverse audience about
Mormonism’s teachings. He explained, among other things, that Latter-day
Saints believe Christ’s ancient church has been restored in modern times.
“What brings me to you today is not a message of reformation but of
restoration,” he said, “the restoration of that church Christ established
by His hand in the meridian of time and which He has reestablished by His
hand in this present time.”
Through this restoration, Elder Holland explained, doctrines about the
nature of God, Christ’s ministry and God’s plan for His children were
reemphasized and clarified.
Elder Holland further explained the centrality of Christ to Church doctrine
and the important distinctions between the teachings of some Christian
traditions and the Christian doctrines and beliefs of the Latter-day Saints. | m****a

Yes. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a Christian church
but is neither Catholic nor Protestant. Rather, it is a restoration of the
Church of Jesus Christ as originally established by the Savior in the New
Testament of the Bible. The Church does not embrace the creeds that
developed in the third and fourth centuries that are now central to many
other Christian churches.
Latter-day Saints believe God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to save all
mankind from death and their individual sins. Jesus Christ is central to the
lives of Church members. They seek to follow His example by being baptized
(see Matthew 3:13-17), praying in His holy name (see Matthew 6:9-13),
partaking of the sacrament (see Luke 22:19-20), doing good to others (see
Acts 10:38) and bearing witness of Him through both word and deed (see James
2:26). The only way to salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ. |
