Why Trifle with Mormonism? by Park Romney - 5/2/2013
Book authored by Park in 2011: "The Apostasy of a High Priest". Available now at Amazon.
Park B. Romney, of the Mormon Romney's, breaks a 5 year silence with this astounding retraction of his testimony of the divine authority of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, more commonly known as the Mormon Church. Romney, a former High Priest of the Mormon Church, presents this poignant and challenging commentary on the sociology of the Mormon culture with inescapable questions about its doctrines. Groundbreaking by several accounts, it is a "must-read" for anyone interested in the social dynamics of one of the largest and most influential multinational conglomerates on the planet, the Mormon Church.
Biography:
Park B. Romney, born in Spokane, Washington, in 1956 was ordained as High Priest in the Mormon Melchizedek priesthood in 1982. He served in two successive Mormon Bishoprics as “Counselor”, and as a member of a Stake Mission Presidency. He asked to have his name removed from the records of the Church in 2004, having concluded that he could no longer support the claims of the Church's divine authority. He is the son of the former marriage of Milton C. Romney and Evelyn Brannock Romney. Milton C. Romney is the great grandson of Miles Park Romney, the Mormon polygamist who gained notoriety as a result of the Mitt Romney campaign for the presidency in 2008. Miles Park Romney was the son of Miles Romney who immigrated to Nauvoo, Illinois from Lancashire, England to join Joseph Smith's community of Mormons as a result of the missionary efforts of Orson Hyde, an early Mormon apostle. Both Miles Romney and Miles Park Romney are celebrated for their prominent roles in the construction of Mormon temples. Park Romney is seen here standing next to the gravestone of Miles Romney in St. George, which is a historical landmark.
