“The Liberty of Worshiping the Lord Their God According to Their Desires”

Bryan Richards

Religious liberty under a monarchy is a rare phenomenon in the history of the world. The royal history of England is the best example of incredible conflict over religion. Yet Lamoni uses no coercion. He teaches his subjects the gospel but explains that they are free to worship according to their desires.

Brigham Young

“It is a love of liberty which inspires my soul—civil and religious liberty to the whole of the human race…I ask, Did I ever exercise any compulsion over any man? Did I not give him the liberty of disbelieving any doctrine [that] I have preached?” (Hugh Nibley, Brother Brigham Challenges the Saints, pp. 518-9)
