A Review and Commentary on the Prospects of a Mormon New Christian Right Coalition
Ideology of the family in nineteenth century Mormonism
Nineteenth century Mormon theology provided the beliefs for a coherent ideology of the family that 1) reconciled the contradiction between a perception of the inevitability of change and the desire for order and stability, and 2) legitimated the novel forms of kinship emerging among the Mormons. Following a reconceptualization of time, introduction of polygyny, and a novel practice of adoption, the family enjoyed a unique metaphysical status, sha…

Only by abandoning their peculiar - theocracy, communitarian socialism, and polygamy - were Mormons allowed to establish permanent constituencies in America and Canada. This accommodation required reformulation of early Mormon theology and has resulted in remarka…
Constituting Norms and the Formal Organization of American Churches
Emphasis is placed on the importance of analyzing organizational structure and behavior in terms of environmental variables, and this research employs environmental variables drawn from the normative order of the surrounding society. The concept of “constituting norms” is used to identify those norms which are central to the society's conception of appropriate organizational forms. Several constituting norms associated with American society are i…
