The Community of Christ has been undergoing great changes: "trying to decide which stories [from its past] are true, which are false, and how much the factual truthfulness of events even matters." In this essay, LeSueur explores the relationship between history and myth and what this means for the Community of Christ as it tries "to remake both its history and sacred myths."
