The main two things I’m trying to accomplish are:
- Have every LDS member read Letter VII during 2016
- Have people think of Moroni’s America whenever they think of the Book of Mormon, the covenant nation, or the USA.
Statement of Purpose: To help people understand the Book of Mormon by explaining the North American setting
Motto: Letter VII describes Moroni’s America
Value Statement: The Book of Mormon is a translation of an actual record of actual people who lived in America from roughly 600 BC to 400 AD
Personal Goal: To bring people to Christ through the Book of Mormon
Title of Liberty
- Moroni holds the keys of the “Stick of Ephraim.” The Book of Mormon.
- Letter VII verifies “One Cumorah.” Ontario County, New York.
- Joseph Smith reveals the “Plains of the Nephites.” The Heartland of America.
- Moroni’s America” is the covenant land of liberty. The United States of America.

Joseph Smith and his relationship with Moroni
“The relationship which developed between Joseph Smith and Moroni began with Joseph standing in great awe before a celestial being filled with light, but there was also a great deal of respect on the part of Moroni for Joseph Smith. He did not see Joseph as just a humble unlearned farm boy, but saw him as one of the great Council of Gods in the pre-mortal existence. Moroni had been given the call of teacher and confidant to the man entrusted with laying the ground work for the Second Advent of the Savior. Their relationship became more than an angel-mortal relationship—they became friends and companions in a great mission of salvation to mankind. Moroni’s position in the grand scheme of things was that of personal instructor to the man who was to become the Prophet of the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times. What a great call to be the one who was to teach and mold the Prophet of God.” JOSEPH SMITH AND THE VISITATIONS OF MORONI by Jerry C. Roundy
One thought on “About Moroni’s America”
Hi, thanks for publishing this information. I guess I was indoctrinated by heresay of church culture: I was always confused why if Cumorah was in modern day New York, the maps and teachings talked about central America.
This very day, reading this website’s pages, I recall my dad- who was sick and couldn’t attend church at all for the decade in the 90s- talking to me about Cumorah/ New York!
(Dad was a convert in college, has Potawatomi ancestry, and served a mission that included the Indians, WY/MT area. In general he was grumpy about the culture of the church people… That’s another story)
I had just finished reading “Tennis Shoes among the Nephites” book series, the second book.
I said to my dad, “oh and Cumorah was in Central America.” My dad was grumpy about that! He said no it is in NY. He told me about the repository.
So I filed that topic away, Cumorah is in New York, tread lightly on this.
For all my dad’s faults he had taught me Plato’s Allegory of the Cave- that has led me to liberty in other topics. Today, it’s nice to see I’m not the only one who seeks truth in geography of the Book of Mormon.
Obviously this is Christ’s restored gospel, people are not perfect. This topic is just another reason to read the scriptures and not just be a Sunday Saint.
