Establishing Zion

Foundations for a Millennial Society

Beschreibung

Zion, a unified community of people, has been the focus of prophetic teaching for millennia. Establishing Zion: Foundations for a Millennial Society looks at how Zion will function practically, beyond the personal righteousness of those who live there. It looks at questions like: Who will pick up the garbage and fix the streets? How will poverty be eliminated? In what ways will family life differ? How will organizations and governments change? Dr. Lawrence Walters has devoted his career to improving local governments. The vision he puts forward is not a distant view of a future Zion; rather, he lays out five foundational principles to guide the efforts of those who actively seek to establish Zion today. He explores how the role of the Church has evolved. Through scripture and professional insights, he outlines an approach for eliminating world poverty. Drawing on prophetic teachings, he identifies the inspired principles that will underpin governance in Zion and illustrates how engaged citizens will influence their communities. Building Zion requires that we create and actively lead our communities and organizations to a higher and holier plane. Establishing Zion: Foundations for a Millennial Society identifies principles and provides guidance on their practical applications. It offers Latter-day Saints a richer, more constructive vision of Zion and what they can do to make it a reality.

He dug ditches, fought fires, read water meters, fixed power lines, drove snowplows, and loved every minute of it.

He earned a bachelor's degree from Brigham Young University and a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania. For the past forty-five years, he has devoted his professional life to training public servants and building more effective governments. Larry is passionate about good government. He has advised governments and trained government officials on five continents and at all levels, from international organizations and national governments to states and small towns.
