Doctrine and Covenants

5b, Orson Pratt  Divided into verses, with references, 1890

Notes

The 1890 Doctrine and Covenants refers to a significant document within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), which includes a compilation of revelations and inspired declarations received by church leaders. One of the most pivotal additions during this period is the 1890 Manifesto, issued by church president Wilford Woodruff. This manifesto declared the official discontinuation of the practice of polygamy among the LDS faithful, marking a crucial turning point in the church's history and paving the way for Utah's eventual statehood in 1896. The Doctrine and Covenants thus serves as a foundational text, guiding the beliefs and practices of the LDS Church.
