Mormons Plan Eastward Expansion From Brooklyn
The New York Herald reported Mormon church officials, led by Brigham H. Roberts, announce a campaign to establish eastern stakes with temples and parochial schools. The plan includes sending 150 missionaries to the East, a Cumorah commemoration at Palmyra, and a statewide church structure from Maryland to Maine. The church cites growth, a 650000 global membership, and a shift from western to eastern centers with Independence Missouri as a future headquarters.
