Kirtland Ohio: Historic Background and Insights

Presented by Karl Ricks Anderson, historian and Kirtland Ohio Stake patriarch.  Karl Anderson is an expert on the Kirtland period of Church history.  He powerfully demonstrates that the Savior personally and visibly directed His Church and taught His Saints by showing Himself or speaking to at least twenty-five early leaders in about twenty separate visions or manifestations attested to in Kirtland.  Although early Church members loved and followed the Prophet Joseph Smith, they recognized that the Savior was their leader.  Anderson points out that more first-person words of the Lord have gone to the world from Kirtland than from any other location in our history.  He also shares his understanding of the Kirtland Temple, the first latter-day House of the Lord—with the Savior’s promise that He would manifest Himself to His servants there, and he explores the visions, symbolism, and endowment given there.

This website is a collection of many subjects and thoughts that are important to me, and some insights I’ve learned “...along the way.” I think of myself as just a simple man with a testimony of Jesus Christ and His Restored Gospel. But, I have lived (and continue to live) an extraordinary and enjoyable life. I've tried to share some highlights here. I have so many good memories. (SAE)
