Rick Bennett of Gospel Tangents sat down with Jim Vun Cannon, counselor in the First Presidency of the Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Remnant Church was officially established in 2000 is a breakoff of the RLDS Church. We discussed similarities and differences between the Remnant Church as the LDS Church, Jim’s conversion, beliefs about priesthood, women’s roles, beliefs about the Book of Mormon and other scriptures, temples, and whether Joseph Smith Practiced polygamy. Transcripts of the interviews were previous published as a series of interviews. This edition combines the entire 2 hour interviews into a single book.
(Note this conversation was recorded on June 9, 2017 in Meridian, Idaho. The interview has been lightly edited.)
