Recreating Utopia in the Desert : A Sectarian Challenge to Modern Mormonism
-
Albany, N.Y.
-
State University of New York Press
-
This is an account of the Aaronic Order, or Levites, a modern splinter group from the Mormon Church. It is viewed here as an attempt by working-class Mormons to resurrect the communitarian ideals they believed were characteristic of 19th century Mormonism. They began during the depression, and since then have developed a series of cooperative and communal ventures in Utah, based on the revelations of Maurice Glendenning. The movement is an example of the processes of institutionalization and fission that characterize surviving revitalization movements.
