The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has created a webpage featuring a discussion guide, video, and other resources for a fifth-Sunday meeting on May 31.
The discussion guide is titled “Celebrating the Founding of the United States and the U.S. Constitution” and found on ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
“Throughout the earth’s history, the principle of moral agency has not been universally honored. Too many of God’s children have been—and still are—oppressed,” the introduction reads. “At the same time, God has been inspiring His children to protect ‘that principle of freedom [that] belongs to all mankind’ (Doctrine and Covenants 98:5).”
The lesson focuses on moral agency and how the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence support religious liberty.
A new video with President D. Todd Christofferson, second counselor in the First Presidency, and Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, provides instruction about the significance of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and related events that enabled the Restoration of the Church. Members can watch the video and discuss a list of questions.
