| Military and the Church |
| "The Church considers being loyal citizens to be
a duty of its members, irrespective of nationality.
Responding to a call for military service is one
appropriate manner of fulfilling this duty of
citizenship." Encyclopedia of Mormonism |
| |
| War and Peace |
| "LDS ideas about war and peace are
complex." Encyclopedia of Mormonism |
| |
| Chaplains |
| "THE CHURCH of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints
endorses a corps of chaplains who serve in the U.S. armed
forces." Encyclopedia of
Mormonism |
| |
| Conscientious
Objection |
| "While any member of the Church is free to
object to military combat service because of conscience,
simply holding membership in the Church in and of itself
is not a justification. Church leaders have discouraged
conscientious objection in every conflict of the
twentieth century." Encyclopedia
of Mormonism |
