S6E13 The CES Letter and Polygamy
About this episode
This episode discusses the CES Letter, Joseph Smith's practice of polygamy, and offers insights on related topics.
In this mailbag episode, we cover the origins and shortcomings of the CES Letter, correct false claims about the timeline of Joseph Smith’s practice of plural marriage, and firmly address the notion that polygamy wasn’t divinely commanded. Along the way, they share global polygamy statistics, reflect on lesser-known figures of faith who endured extraordinary trials, and offer thoughtful advice to a listener wrestling with a complicated pioneer ancestor.
