Signal Communities
In the Nonviolent Articles of Faith, rewritten on this site to expand on the message of peace found in the Articles of Faith of the Latter day Saint movement, the following 10th article illustrates what President Veazey of the Community of Christ once said about signal communities (see video below for a caption of his message):
10. We believe that God has restored his covenants, and that all peoples that have been scattered by war, famine and disease, must one day return home under conditions of just return. We also believe that through structures of holiness, in our modern day temples, we are currently being united into one eternal family under the principles of freedom and justice for all; that many Zion communities, exemplar ‘cities on a hill’, must be built upon the American continent, as well as on all other continents and that these model-communities should be reproduced in all places where the hearts are broken and the spirit is contrite; that Christ will, after due preparation of all peoples, reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth must be saved from environmental degradation, and that through our conscious efforts to do so, we will be able to properly account for our stewardship over this our playground and place of learning.
