Summary

On this episode, we take a dive into 1836 to catch everything up. Until this time, we’ve just covered the big ticket historical topics that occurred in 1836, so we need to get everything else caught up. We also introduce 2 new NaMo nicknames for people that have been poking around the timeline for a while now. We start off with a discussion about the Hebrew school the presidency organized to be taught by Joshua Seixas. After that, William Smith and Joe get in a fight, and Joe loses. Following the fight, Joe releases a statement clarifying the church’s position on slavery and abolitionism, needless to say, Joe does the PR friendly move, and punts down the middle. We finish up with a discussion about 1836 treasure hunting, and Joe getting swindled by a guy named Burgess, as well as a few minutes devoted to the shooting in Orlando.

0:33.3	Where is the church going?
0:34.7	I have faith that the Constitution will be saved as prophesied by Joseph Smith.

1:30.5	historical timeline episode to get us caught up here and, you know, kind of provide some context
1:35.8	for what we'll be discussing today. On episode 34, we pretty much just focused on one week
1:41.1	in Mormon history from March 26th to April 3rd of 1836, which is
1:46.1	the week of the Curtland Temple Dedication Ceremony. Of course, it was necessary to take a step
1:52.6	back and kind of set up the context for the temple and discuss why it was needed, and when the
1:58.5	commandment came down from on high to build such a temple, we began with
