A Ministry of Healing

Contend against no church, save it be the church of the devil. DOCTRINE & COVENANTS 18:20

Elder B. H. Roberts observed that Latter-day Saints “are not brought necessarily into antagonism with the various sects of Christianity as such. So far as they have retained fragments of Christian truth — and each of them has some measure of truth that far they are acceptable unto the Lord; and it would be poor policy for us to contend against them without discrimination. Wherever we find truth, whether it exists in complete form or only in fragments, we recognize that truth as part of that sacred whole of which the Church of Jesus Christ is the custodian. ... All that makes for truth, for righteousness, is of God; it constitutes the kingdom of righteousness — the empire of Jehovah; and, in a certain sense at least, constitutes the Church of Christ. ... With ... the kingdom of righteousness. ... we have no warfare” (Conference Report, April 1906, 14-15). We are agents of the Prince of Peace, and ours is a ministry of healing and blessing. (Robert L.
