THE NATURE OF THE CHURCH
A Study Paper Prepared for the Curriculum Consultation Committee
Prepared by the Department of Religious Education
October, 1967 Page 12

...we cannot affirm there being the kind of "true" church which makes all others "false" churches. Nor can we affirm today that this is "the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth with which the Lord (is) well pleased. (D. & C. 1:5) We affirm that no single organized institution (church) an earth is the perfect embodiment of God's will and purpose and therefore qualified to claim itself as the sole source from which his grace proceeds or through which men are joined to him.
