It was founded in 1943 by Maurice L. Glendenning and has a membership estimated between 1,500 and 2,000 members.〔 == Background == Glendenning, born February 15, 1891 in Randolph, Kansas, and his family were unfamiliar with the Latter Day Saint movement and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). However, as a boy, he confided in his father that he could "hear heavenly music even when wide-awake". As a young teen, the heavenly music became interspersed with angelic voices uttering poetry, which he began to write down in notes he kept private out of fear of ridicule.〔 As a young man, the "angelic poetry" evolved into doctrinal and philosophical statements,〔 and he gradually began sharing the text of his messages with more and more friends and relatives. In 1928, Glendenning and his family moved to Provo, Utah looking for employment. Counseled by LDS missionaries, Glendenning began to feel that a number of LDS doctrines helped him understand his own writings including the priesthood and proper authority.〔 Glendenning and his wife were baptized on August 14, 1929.〔 On January 15, 1945 he was excommunicated as the "Instigator of the Aaronic Order". LDS Church General Authorities asserted that while people could receive inspiration for themselves, no one could receive authentic divine messages for the church except the President of the Church. However, Glendenning claims not to have received divine messages for the church, but was accused of wrongdoing presumably because he had received divine inspiration that, if true, would affect the validity of some of the teachings of the LDS Church.〔 Glendenning died October 5, 1969 in Utah. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「House of Aaron」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
