The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints In Ireland
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has had a presence in the island of Ireland since at least 1840, when the Elder John Taylor first preached in Newry. He and other missionaries converted a number of Irish people, forming a branch in Hillsborough, County Down. Many of the converted Irish saints emigrated in order to escape poverty (and later famine), as well as to live in majority Latter Day Saint communities. Missionary efforts continued in the 1850s, and a small branch was established in Dublin, but many members emigrated to Utah or lost interest in the church. In 1867, the Irish mission was placed in the care of the British mission. A new branch was formed in Belfast in 1884 and a Dublin branch was reestablished in 1900. All of this occurred despite anti-Mormon disturbances by local Irish people. Beginning in 1907, Irish church members were asked to remain in their home country to build up the church. This plea by local ecclesiastical leaders initiated a new era ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

For many of these churches, the law of tithing replaced or supplemented the law of consecration. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) emphasized tithing in the 1900s and 1960s to assist in paying church debts.

For example, in 1837, Presiding Bishop Edward Partridge and his cou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
