​Genesis, an organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was established on October 19, 1971. It developed from meetings between Church leaders and Black converts in the Salt Lake Valley, many of whom were descendants of early pioneers, and some who were less active in the Church of Jesus Christ.

ミッションステートメント：

The mission of Genesis is to support members of the Church of Jesus Christ who are of African descent, to engage all Church members in dialogue, and to recognize the contributions of all Saints, regardless of race, ethnicity, and background.

すべての人のためのセーフティネット

Special care was taken to ensure that Genesis not be seen as an attempt to segregate the races. In this sense, Genesis functions like other ethnic units and congregations of the Church, like a Lao or Chinese branch, a Spanish Ward, and so forth. This provides a safety net for people of different backgrounds and cultures while they adapt to their Church home and to one another.

ジェネシスは、教会内の民族単位に関して異なる見解があることを認識していますが、教会の活動、保持、さまざまな文化の尊重の具体的な利点は、私たちがキリストに来るときに喜びを見つけるという教会の使命に不可欠であると信じています。創世記は神権の指導の下で奉仕を続けています。創世記グループの教会全体の会長会には、ジャマルウィリス、デイビスストヴァル、ジョセフカルバが含まれます。

コミュニティリーダー
