This is the comprehensive history<\/a> of the removal of D&C Section 20 from the Teachings & Commandments, and the development of the Statement of Principles subsequently adopted in September, 2018 as a “Guide and Standard” to be included in the new Restoration Edition of the Scriptures. It consists of a compilation of the full text of every version of the Statement of Principles submitted to the Scripture Committee, together with written statements submitted or posted – at the time and in their own words – by those involved with the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n

More than four years later, that document causes relief and rejoicing in some, feelings of pain and misunderstanding in others, and darkness and confusion in yet others. While some would like to believe that this piece of Remnant history resides in the past, it is clear from ongoing conversation that this story has not yet been put to rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This compilation<\/a> was undertaken in an effort to bring some clarity and understanding to those who didn\u2019t actively participate in the process or were not part of the remnant body as this unfolded during 2017-18, and provide additional context for those who were involved in (or at least aware of) the process at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
