Project Zion Podcast

There is a lot of history and context, both inside and outside the church, that accompanies the sections in Community of Christ’s Doctrine and Covenants. Over the years, some of the sections have been removed due to a lack of alignment with Community of Christ identity, message, mission, and beliefs. Other sections have been questioned because of the language used at the time of writing. Guests, Paul DeBarthe and David Hall share with Mary Anne and Kassie why they feel it is so important to consider a Bicentennial edition of the Doctrine and Covenants (G-8) that fills the gaps left for those who wish to study its message by providing background narratives. They also lift up their sense of call to gather materials across time and faith traditions that capture Divine guidance to humanity and put them in a resource that would benefit all (G-9).
