  4. Priestcraft Read Alma 1:2-16; 2 Nephi 26:29-31 With a buddy, come up with a definition of priestcraft. Share examples of priestcraft in the world today. Can priestcraft be practiced in the Church? Explain why John Bytheway could or could not be practicing priestcraft? Bro. Rowe? They get paid… Can a bishop or stake president practice priestcraft even though they don’t get paid to teach? Explain.

  5. Priestcraft “From Nephi’s definition we see that setting oneself as a light seems to be central to the problem of priestcraft. The reasons for setting oneself up as a light include getting gain and praise. Let’s look a little bit closer at each of these areas. A few weeks ago, I had a conversation with a man who said he had a brother who taught in CES for a few years and then left the system. He could never reconcile in his mind that he was teaching the gospel for money. This man asked me how I reconcile it in my mind. It is a great question. How do we reconcile that? Most of us have probably contemplated it, probably before we were hired and I suspect many times since then. Elder Spencer W. Kimball, who was then a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, gave the best explanation I have heard: “I want our youth never to be taught by mercenaries. Should any of you be teaching in this program merely as an occupation, almost wholly for the compensation, then I hope you will be assigned to one of the other areas. But if your salary is incidental and your grand and magnificent obsession is our children and their growth and development, then I hope you will be teaching in New York and Michigan and Wisconsin and Utah where my loved children are” (“What I Hope You Will Teach My Grandchildren and All Others of the Youth of Zion,” address to religious educators, Brigham Young University, 11 July 1966, 8). That is a great key for us. Where is our heart? If it is for the welfare of Zion and its youth, I think we are in good shape. (Paul V. Johnson, CES Conference, 12 August 2002, Utah Valley State College)
