Ep318: The Second Anointing: The LDS Church's Highest Secret Ordinance

The mysterious “Second Anointing” has long been one of the most controversial and secretive practices connected to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this episode, we explore what the ordinance is believed to be, where it came from historically, how it developed in early Mormonism, and why it continues to spark debate among members, former members, and religious scholars alike. We’ll examine claims, teachings, historical sources, and modern discussion surrounding the ritual often described as the church’s “highest ordinance.” Whether you’ve heard whispers about it for years or are learning about it for the first time, Ganesh Cherian joins Mormonish Podcast to take a thoughtful look at one of Mormonism’s most talked-about hidden topics.
