Interesting article and much appreciated. The very positive portrayal of Hamites should not be ignored. Also, prior to the 1978 revelation, I had long noted that God restricted the priesthood to the tribe of Levi. Obviously, this restriction had nothing to do with race. To my knowledge, no reason was given for this restriction. With the Atonement this restriction was nullified. Personally, I was delighted in the 1978 revelation!
