This thesis "Examines why Mother in Heaven has been progressively eliminated from institutional discourse. Viewing Mother through the lens of iconography, I suggest that the Churchs move to designate her as sacred is an iconoclastic act that dissociates her from Mormon collective memory. Given Mothers significance in Mormon cosmology, why has she disappeared from our discourse and become so sacred."[Author's abstract]
