In reply to Jose Flores. Dear Jose! We are so excited to hear about your interest! God makes the decisions in our church which he gives to his servants the prophet and apostles. They in turn relate them to the whole church, this system is the one God used in his ancient church and now in his restored gospel! If you would like to know more please continue to ask questions! If you want a Book of Mormon send us a private message with your address and we would love to send you one!

Hey my name is Jose Flores I am from Henderson, NC. I am writting because of the season. I have just resently developed an unquincable thrist for the understandment of our Lord our fathers our God word. I have developed this feeling inside of me that i may not explain, but I do know that the end is coming soon. So I wonder what is your view on this age and where would your church stand? I do not really understand your churches point of view and would not wise to insult anyone of Gods childeren. So I ask without no type of judgement who makes your law in your Church God or the commitee within the church?

Ran there is no policy in place concerning interracial marriage. As Gale said, we are free to marry whomever we choose. The Church encourages temple marriages no matter what race the bride and groom are.

In reply to ron. Yes, there are many Black members in our church and we absolutely open them with open arms. Anyone who doesn't is not living the gospel as they should. And yes interracial dating and marriages are allowed although probably not encouraged as there tends to be a high percentage of interracial marriages that end up divorced.

No, but perhaps the white race wasn’t ready to perform well under black leadership until then.

Was the black race cursed until 1978?

There are many Black members in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and they are loved. The Church has never, ever segregated congregations. The Church is also growing by leaps and bounds in Africa. You can learn all about this at http://blacklds.org

There is no policy in place regarding interracial marriage. We can marry whomever we want, and interracial marriages occur more and more, just as they are in society in general. Utah, which is about 62% Mormon now, has the highest rate of adoption of Black children by white parents in the U.S.

Are there any Black members in your Church and are they welcome freely with open arms? Do you allow Interracial Dating and Marriages in the Church as well?

That decision is up to you and your girlfriend. Membership in the Mormon Church offers rich blessings for married couples and parents that most wouldn’t want to be without. Your girlfriend may have always dreamed of a Mormon temple marriage where eternal covenants are made. Or she may not have. We are all at different places in our dedication to the Church. However, if she is willing to marry you and be less active in the Church, that’s one thing. But what if now or later, she desires to be very active, serving in volunteer positions and taking your children to church. Those are decisions you should make now. Come to an agreement on respecting each others’ beliefs and child rearing.
