"During the Great Depression of the 1930's the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced in an open letter in the church-owned newspaper, The Deseret News, a plan to improve the economic welfare of its members. Originally titled "Church Security Program," it was renamed the "Church Welfare Plan" in 1938. This article seeks to correct the misinterpretation that the Welfare Plan was created in defiant opposition to the New Deal. Instead, the Welfare Plan is reaffirmed as the result of Saints' belief in caring for their own and their desire to assist members in a time of dire emergency." [Publisher's abstract]
