Summary

The priesthood and temple ban began when Brigham Young learned that Black Saints were marrying white women, fearing interracial marriage. When the ban was finally lifted it was only with the caveat that they continued to warn the members against interracial marriage. Church members have received mixed messages since then, with warnings against interracial marriage still found on the Church's website and in manuals. How should members make sense of these conflicting messages? Today, we're joined by Matt Harris and Summur-Rayn to discuss this topic.

0:47.0	The good news is, thanks to the generous donations of those who have been watching it so far,
0:52.0	we've been able to, I believe, more than generously
0:54.4	compensate Dr. Harris for his contributions. That's the good news. The bad news is, you know, because we made the promise that 100% of the
1:04.9	donations would go to Matt, we have not received any compensation for about the
