Lectures - Joseph Smith and Polygamy

There is a consensus among historians that Joseph Smith Jr, the founder of the Latter-Day Saint movement was a practitioner of polygamy. Joseph Smith’s son, Joseph Smith III, the prophet of the Reorganization, held out hope that his father may have been innocent — a hope that was incorrectly taken as fact by his own sons, the subsequent prophets of the RLDS Church. While these leaders testified in good faith, the evidence shows that they were incorrect. John Hamer of Toronto Centre Place will lay out the evidence to show why historians universally agree that Joseph Smith Jr was a polygamist. A Q&A and discussion will follow the presentation.
