I hope you have a good experience here. For me Church History dovetails with and is a continuation of Puritan History, as the LDS Church is a continuation of Thomas Hooker's Bible Commonwealth society, that had virtually dissolved by the time Joseph Smith began to look unto the same principles of organization of God's Kingdom on earth. And just as the Puritan/Congregationalist order faded away, so to have Joseph Smith's Zion Commonwealths all but vanished from view because of "economic individualism which undermined the group-value approach of the Puritans. Money-making took center stage-the day of the 'peaceable kingdom' was over."

We will one day see a return to Commonwealth living, in the order of our ancestors, after The Cleansing.
Until then I study daily from the Comprehensive Study Manual of the Scriptures of the lost tribes of Israel.
