Remarkable Review and Resonance of England’s Life

Givens so eloquently and articulately captures the essence of Eugene England’s impact on the ever growing and restorative doctrine and theology of the tenets of Christianity within the institution of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. His intellectual approach is a testament to the growing pains England experienced during a time of resistant administration during the cultural, civil and church conflicts during the decades of the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. England’s perceived liberal views by some came under criticism and scrutiny by the administration and institution he loved and had deeply rooted faith in. His views resonated with the growing population of church members and their diversity. England supported civil rights, women’s equality, anti discrimination and anti war at a time when it was unpopular to do so. He championed human rights and defended religious freedom of all denominations while holding dear to the principles and faith that was the very essence and foundation of who he was. Ever stretching the boundaries of thought and conscious conviction, England’s voice resonated with so many of us who lived through those decades feeling disappointed and disaffected by the administration of the church in those times. England was a pioneer in his work in creating Mormon literature and critical thinking that expands the perspective of contemporary Mormonism.
