Joseph Smith: His Life and Death - Zoom Class

Zoom & Kamloops Sports Council • #101 1550 Island Parkway KamloopsBCCanada  V2B 0H7 Organized by Kamloops Adult Learners Society

About this event

Inspired by visions in the midst of the religious fervour that swept through America during the 1820s, Joseph Smith founded the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (a.k.a. Mormonism) in New York in 1830. Harassed by neighbours, Smith led his flock westward, first to Ohio, then Missouri and, finally Illinois, where he founded the City of Nauvoo. Relentlessly persecuted by state authorities, he repeatedly appealed to the federal government to intervene. Then out of desperation, he ran for President of the U.S. in 1844. Eventually he was jailed, and while in prison, he was assassinated by a mob. Enjoy this class in the company of others or from the comfort of your home.
