In part 2 of my interview with John Hamer, we discuss the transformation of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (RLDS) towards a more Christ-centered church, including the decision to build a temple in Independence, Missouri, and change its name to"The Community of Christ." We also discuss its transition away from prophetic succession based on blood line, and its decision to ordain women to the priesthood.

John Hamer discusses the LDS Succession Crisis after Joseph Smith's death, and the ground that it laid for the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (or Community of Christ).
