The great apostasy and loss of the priesthood eighteen hundred years ago resulted not only in a loss of authority to perform ordinances in the Church but also in a loss of truth pertaining to every phase of life on the earth. It has affected man’s thinking and reasoning in political, economic, educational, and social fields as well. But the Restoration is just as broad as the Apostasy. Even though we have generally thought only of church organization in the Restoration, and the principles of the gospel as contained in the scriptures, the Restoration also applies to all phases and dimensions of human endeavor, including social, political, educational, and economic areas.
