The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has twice issued Official Declarations to clarify significant doctrinal issues.
[1] Official Declaration 1 was added to the church's official scripture, Doctrine and Covenants, in 1908; Official Declaration 2 in 1981.
[2][1][3] Both declarations came in response to controversies surrounding church policies (polygamy and the race ban, respectively) although in neither case did the declaration explicitly repudiate the doctrine as understood,[4] leaving decades to effect the full change the declarations proclaimed.
