LDS leaders long have said the cross, so ubiquitous among traditional Christians, symbolizes Jesus' death, while Mormons worship the risen Christ. ...
Now a historian at California State University in Sacramento claims in a just-completed master's thesis that Mormon aversion to the cross is a relatively recent development in LDS history, prompted in part by anti-Catholic sentiments.
It took quite a few years to get the crosses you see at St. Al's added. Now if only we can get someone to explain the liturgy team's aversion to the Crucifix.
