Re. the Five Points of Fellowship, I thought this was interesting:

I’m old enough for the old film, the less old version, the penalties, etc., and I have to say that the five points were something I could relate to. It helped me think of the resurrection as a very personal, tender event. I never liked the film. (Haven’t seen the new one.) I like the quiet, low-tech interactions in the initiatory and at the veil.

Thank you Ann for the Link. Great points about why the five points of fellowship and the endowment ceremony itself is losing symbolic meaning as our modern life has little to no context for such things. It reminded me of another article that I liked very much called, “The Grand Fundamental Principles of Mormonism.” https://www.sunstonemagazine.com/pdf/141-32-41.pdf

I recommend it to anyone that would like to better understand the context of the creation of the temple endowment.

Thanks for the reference. It’s really interesting to be able to read Don Bradley from both sides of the fence.
