CC 155: The time for hesitation is past
The forces of a changing society continue to push on all sides.

Marie's Spirit Prison (Articles of Faith (and Doctrine))
It's time for some context to the 1980 proto-schism in RLDS. The Epitome of Faith and Doctrine is exactly the same as the Articles of Faith, just rebranded.

CC 153: Faith of our fathers
W. Wallace Smith officially retires, Wallace B. Smith takes over. It goes smoothly, except for the 15%-25% of the congregation who Does Not Believe. Or more it's that they believe in the fundamentals…
CC 152: Hello, Wally Tony
In a shocking turn of events, W. Wallace Smith decides to retire rather than remain prophet-president until death. He nominates his son, Wallace Bunnell Anthony Smith, as successor.

CC 151: Not the meeting minutes
Sweeping changes have been made in core beliefs and how the church teaches theology to the children. Naturally, this revelation mentions literally none of that.
CC 150: Build it... where?
God wants the Saints to build a temple, which is problematic since RLDS doesn't own the land where temple should be built. Can they resurrect and old agreement that would allow them to slide right in…
CC 149A: Schismpalooza, Part 2
God is so great that his words require clarification in not only a supplemental revelation, but also for months and months in the official church newspaper.
CC 149: Schismpalooza, Part 1
Oh snap, it's a revelation so groundbreaking that god had to make this a two-parter! What's a surplus? Are the bishops the bad guys? Will the temple be used for... anything? No idea!
CC 148: And everything changes...
The Statement on Objections rocks the church to its core, so naturally the revelation regarding personnel changes is what's in the D&C.
CC 146-147: Look to the Future
The church shifts its focus from cultural anecdata from the past to hard truths for the future. Cracks in the church foundation begin to appear.
CC 145: It is my will...
Pres. W. Wallace Smith flexes his prophetic muscles by doing a ton of staffing changes. On the surface, nothing is changing. In reality, he's setting up the church to do things like include non-white…
CC 143-144: Goodbye and Hello, President Smith
It's the end of an era as President Israel "Dutch" Smith passes away in a car crash. President W. Wallace Smith is named successor, which makes sense since he's essentially been acting president for …
CC 142: A series of bad looks for Dutch
Prophet-President Israel "Dutch" Smith starts making tours of the Pacific and Europe to meet the members of his church. Or, from another perspective, he uses the church as an excuse to travel, get fa…
CC 140-141: Zion is in your heart (possibly)
Israel "Dutch" Smith spends his first years of his presidency at his wife's bedside, with breaks to write correspondence and delegate decisions to F. Henry Edwards, his nephew-in-law.

CC 139: Rest In Peace, Fred M.
The post-WWII era ushers in an era of economic growth for the church, and a grumpy Fred M., a prophet who failed to write down his succession plan. Israel "Dutch" Smith becomes prophet-president, soo…
CC 138: Hello, Israel.
The revelation is just another staffing change from Fred M. The reality is that nobody likes him and his closest confidantes are quitting. Somehow, despite a lifetime of being treated as Lesser, litt…
CC 137: Even More Depressioning
Fred. M's vision of a literal, physical Zion slips even further from his grasp. Church membership is falling, money is tighter than tight, and WWII is just around the corner.

CC 136: Oops! A Great Depression
Fred M. has gained complete control of the Church, for both good and bad. Great strides are made in the quest for a physical Zion on earth! And he completely misses how overspent the coffers are, and…
CC 135: Too Many Controversies
Brother McGuire stages a coup, sort of, with the help of immense amounts of bureaucracy. Fred M. is temporarily ousted from The Saints Herald, only to regain power at the expense of his younger broth…
