The attitude of the modern Church toward polygamy

Relationship of polygamy to modern Mormonism

Did President Gordon B. Hinckley state that polygamy was not doctrinal?

Summary: Gordon B.

Not all of the information is entirely correct, given what is now known from the historical record, but are included here as written as a reference for the type of discussions which continued regarding plural marriage.
