11 - Nonviolence

In Mason's article, he suggests that the early Latter-day Saints attempted to emulate the early Christian church, not just in structure but in how they practiced. He suggests that one of the ways they did this was through practicing enemy love and nonviolence. This aligns with the reading in the D&C, which discusses the importance of nonviolence in order to help the church grow. Elder Christofferson reminds us of these principals, that Zion is the antithesis of Babylon and that Zion is for the pure in heart.
