The emergence of the Mormon church, now more properly referred to as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is arguably the most radical event in American religious history.

The author will speak to the history of events around the LDS movement; this is not a presentation on LDS theology.

This event is co-sponsored by the Dutchess County Library Association.
