SALT LAKE CITY - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints added new language to the faith s handbook Friday imploring members to root out prejudice and racism, adding significance and permanence to recent comments by top leaders on one of the most sensitive topics in the church s history.
The faithâs past ban on Black men in the lay priesthood, which stood until 1978, remains a delicate issue for members and non-members alike. The church disavowed the ban in a 2013 essay, saying it was enacted during an era of great racial divide that influenced the churchâs early teachings, but it never issued a formal apology â a sore spot for some members.
