Mormons gain African converts five years after priesthood change
In the five years since the Mormon Church opened its priesthood to blacks thousands in Africa have joined the faith. Some American blacks still view the policy as a sour memory, though leaders say acceptance has improved. Black priesthood member Jim Sinquefield notes lingering resentment but urges seekers to pursue truth. Ruffin Bridgeforth reports blacks find greater confidence and acceptance within the church today.
