"I do not like the old man being called up for erring in doctrine. It looks to much like the Methodists. And not like the Latter Day Saints. Methodists have creeds which a man must believe or be kicked out of their church. I want the liberty of thinking and believing as I please. It feels so good not to be trammeled." -Joseph Smith, Jr. April 8, 1843

"The One who created all humankind grieves at the shameful divisions within the human family. A prophetic people must work tirelessly to tear down walls of separation and to build bridges of understanding." -Doctrines of the Saints 2d:39-40

"The apostasy of the early church began with disputations and anger among the people of God over points of doctrine and who held absolute authority, and it worked division and led to bloodshed. The Restoration through Joseph Smith required the foundation for religious liberty, and an environment where it was safe to bring a new perspective into the world and establish it though peaceable means, which is in opposition to the old paradigm of religious persecution masquerading as the defense of truth. Let us not return to former darkness." Epistle to Joel 5:3-5
