Theses and Dissertations

Missionary proselyting activities in the land are traced, and the major historical developments of the mission are discussed.

History Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints In Switzerland, Dale Z. Kirby
History Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints In Switzerland, Dale Z. Kirby
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis gives an account of the establishment and development of the LDS Church in Switzerland without attempting to record a comprehensive chronological history. Instead, emphasis has been placed on beginnings and major historical developments.
In 1850, T. B. H. Stenhouse began teaching the "restored gospel" in French-Switzerland, at Geneva. Proselyting began in German-Switzerland in 1854. Despite mob violence and opposition from the clergy, press and civil authorities, some 9,846 joined the Church and 4,700 of these emigrated to "Zion." The discouragement of emigration, along with new emphasis on missionary work and improved proselyting methods, brought an unprecedented growth in …
