What Does the Gathering of Israel Mean to Descendants of Joseph in New Zealand
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in New Zealand (variously described hereafter as “the Church,” “the LDS Church,” “Latter-day Saints” and adjectivally as “LDS”) was a small European institution from its inception in the 1850s until the indigenous Maori peoples began to join in large numbers between 1882 and 1895. Those converts completely changed the Church and outnumbered the European membership ten to one by the end of the ninete…

Proof that religious confession privilege continues unbroken at common law t…
