| Summary: | A spiritual biography, this book chronicles the journey of Margarito Bautista (1878-1961) from Mormonism to the Third Convention, a Latter-day Saint (Mormon) splinter group he fomented in 1935-1936, to Colonia Industrial/Nueva Jerusalén, a polygamist utopia Bautista founded in 1947. It argues that Bautista embraced Mormon belief in indigenous exceptionalism in 1901 and rapidly rose through the ranks of Mormon priesthood until convinced that the Mormon hierarchy was not invested in the development of native American peoples, as promoted in the Church's canon. This realisation resulted in tensions over indigenous self-governance within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon Church) and Bautista's 1937 excommunication. |
