Conflict in the Quorum

Conflict in the Quorum
By:Gary James Bergera
Published on 2002-12-01 by

Like Uriah and his wife Bathsheba in the Old Testament, Orson Pratt, the bright, thirty-one-year-old member of the Mormon hierarchy, was forced to choose between his wife and his spiritual leader, Joseph Smith. The year was 1842, the place Nauvoo, Illinois. Pratt would forever after be associated with controversy -- a fly in the ointment in Brigham Young's view. His willingness to speak his mind put him at odds with Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, and Orson's own brother Parley. But his integrity and intellectualism kept him in the inner circles, even though Young demoted him in the Quorum of the Twelve. This action prevented his eventual succession as LDS church president. These three -- Smith, Young, and Pratt -- though they mingled like oil, air, and water, continue to hold more influence over Mormon thought than any subsequent church leader.
