Produktbeschreibung
culture of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, reflecting the cultural impact of basic beliefs and traditions of the church, distinguishes church members, practices, and activities. The culture is geographically concentrated in the Mormon Corridor (or "Jell-O Belt") in the United States, but is, to a lesser extent, present in many places of the world where Latter-day Saints live. Latter-Day Saint culture is distinct from Church doctrine. Many practices, attitudes, and beliefs are void of doctrinal support[verification needed]. Some are even contrary to official doctrine. Practices common to Latter-day Saints include following the Word of Wisdom, paying tithing, living the law of chastity, participation in lay leadership of the church, refraining from work on Sundays when possible, family home evenings, and home and visiting teaching. Tattoos and body piercings (except for one pair of earrings for women) are strongly discouraged. Church members are encouraged to marryand have children, and as a result, Latter-day Saint families tend to be larger than average. All sexual activity, both heterosexual and homosexual, outside of marriage is considered a serious sin.
