Joseph's Temples
Now In Production Joseph's Temples, is a feature documentary that explores the dynamic relationship between Freemasonry and Mormonism. The Latter Day movement trace their origins to a Christian primitivist movement founded by Joseph Smith in 1830. Joseph Smith and his family resided in the Burned-Over District of New York during the pivotal events of the Second Great Awakening and the anti-Masonic movement. These parallel movements influenced Smith's quest to rediscover and restore ancient and undefiled truth. These parallel movements were discussed in the public square and described in newspapers in the region. Many of the same preachers who lectured about the fundamentals of Christianity also took positions in the debate concerning the origins of Freemasonry and whether it was also a fallen institution. Smith eventually rejected all existing religions and restored a primitive church that was based on a primitive model. After organizing the Church of Christ he began to introduce other innovations that had Masonic connections. The aspects of Masonry that dove-tailed with his restoration imperative were premised on Masonic legends that traced the origins of Freemasonry to Adam and Eve and taught that primitive Masonry, like pure religion, had occasionally become degraded through schism and apostasies until it was restored and a ritual introduced Solomon's Temple. |
