The Poland LDS Mission Sample Clauses

The Poland LDS Mission. Mehr’s (2002) semi-official LDS account about the LDS entering Central/Eastern Europe examines how they gained a foothold in communist Poland in the 1970s/1980s and officially established a Mission in 1990 to seek converts in post-communist Poland. The semi-official LDS account of the Deseret Church News writer, Xxxxxx (2001), and official LDS accounts of the First Quorum of the Seventy member, Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (1998); assistant editor of the official LDS Ensign magazine, Xxxxxxx (1982); and a News of the Church section article from Ensign September 1989 address this purpose too. The LDS gained legal recognition in Poland on May 26th 1977, becoming entitled to own property, conduct religious services, distribute literature, and answer questions, but not proselytise (Mehr 2002: 101-102). In late August 1977, President Xxxxxxx became the only serving LDS Church President to enter communist Europe, visiting Poland where he made Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx the presiding elder, as Polish government policy required Church leaders to be Polish back then, and gave a “dedicatory prayer” in Ogród Saski Park (The Saxon Garden Park) in Warsaw for the LDS gospel to be accepted in Poland (Ibid 102-103). Between 1977 and 1979, an older American couple, Xxxxxxx/Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxxx (my Polish wife believes that Xxxxxxxxxxxxx/Xxxxxxxxxxxxx may be more accurate), served as missionaries in Poland, travelling extensively to meet LDS members, and Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxxx baptised 14 converts (Ibid 103-104). In 1978, the LDS acquired their visitor centre on Nowy Świat Street in central Warsaw, where Poles could ask questions and obtain literature about the LDS (Ibid 104). Between 1975 and 1981, the Polish-born convert Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx (my wife believes that Xxxxxxxxxxx may be more accurate) translated the BOM into Polish, with full editions appearing in 1981 (Mehr 2002: 100; Xxxxxxx 1982). By November 1981, the Nowy Świat visitor centre was “ready to be dedicated” for missionary service, but in December 1981, the Polish government imposed martial law and outlawed the Solidarity movement, so the centre had to wait to become fully operational (Mehr 2002: 104). After martial law ended in Poland in 1983, Eastern Europe became more accessible for the LDS, as in 1985, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx started reforming the Soviet communist system and an LDS Temple was opened in Freiberg, East Germany (Ibid 155). When Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx became LDS Church President in 1985, entering Central/Eastern Europe became a mo...
