We were delighted to have Richard Bushman, emeritus professor of history at Columbia University and author of Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling, speak to our stake on the topic “Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration”. Brother Bushman addressed the Kirtland period we are currently studying in Come, Follow Me, and then responded to questions sent in from members of the stake, moderated by Laguna Niguel Stake President Blaine Evanson.
