A Community of Christ Blog. Category Archives: Community of Christ. Joseph Smith III on the Calling of the Seventy. There is a possibility that in its very arduousness lies the secret of its success. Joseph Smith III on the Seventy. ON THE TWELVE AND THE SEVENTY. Their decisions (if unanimous) are of high importance, equal in authority to those of the First Presidency and are to be made in righteousness; how carefully then ought this band of especial witnesses to walk as a quorum and as individuals.

A Community of Christ Blog. Author Archives: Jeff Cimmino. Where Jesus Appears: Interpreting the Post-Resurrection Narratives. Resurrection. Rising from the dead? I don’t intend to deal with this question directly in this post. Instead, I will focus on how Jesus’ life and message was internalized by his followers. Perhaps this will clarify future examinations of that question. Let’s now turn to the post-Resurrection narratives, starting with Matthew. Matthew is quite terse. You have seen what I did to th...

Twelve years later we have not finished the reconstruction of the twin towers, nor have we overcome the helplessness in our own hearts. Do not grieve for those who lost their lives on 9/11! We absolutely miss them, yet all grief does is keep us slaves to helplessness. I don't believe those who died would want their deaths to take away our power. Rather, ...We ha...

FROM COCOON TO BUTTERFLY: A Journal of Spiritual Healing and Transformation. Sunday, October 19, 2014. The Riches of Life. My cousin Keith passed away a couple of days ago. It's a sad time for the family, although the loss was expected. He had been fighting cancer for quite a long time. In the end, the pain and suffering was excruciating for both him and his family that cared for him.

FROM COCOON TO BUTTERFLY: A Journal of Spiritual Healing and Transformation. Monday, December 9, 2013. Propaganda. It overwhelms us. We see it in our television shows.
