ABOUT
Restoration Wide Open is a page dedicated to the idea that every group and person that roots its spiritual practices in the foundational experiences and acts of Joseph Smith, Jr., his family, and his friends, belongs to the same movement. At the same time, that Restoration belongs to its wider historical context, the religious and ritual ferment of the American Frontier. Join with us as we explore that makes the Restoration unique and what ties it to its historical context. Find new freedom in your own belonging to the Restoration.
