dbo:abstract
  • Helvécio Martins (* 27. Juli 1930 in Rio de Janeiro; † 14. Mai 2005 in São Paulo) war die erste Generalautorität schwarzer (genauer afrobrasilianischer) Herkunft in der Kirche Jesu Christi der Heiligen der Letzten Tage. Martins wurde 1930 in Rio de Janeiro in Brasilien geboren. Seine Vorfahren waren afrikanische Sklaven. Er trat der HLT-Kirche im Jahre 1972 bei, obwohl er wusste, dass schwarze Personen zu dieser Zeit das Priestertum nicht bekamen und keine heiligen Rituale im Tempel erhalten durften. Am 9. Juni 1978 hörten Martins und seine Familie von der Veröffentlichung der Offenbarung zum Priestertum und dass die HLT-Kirche das Verbot des Priestertums aufhebt. Nachdem er das Priestertum bekommen und die heiligen Rituale im Tempel durchlaufen hatte, wurde Martins zuerst ein Bischof, dann ein Ratgeber des Pfahlpräsidenten und danach noch ein Missionspräsident für die Mission der Kirche Jesu Christi der Heiligen der Letzten Tage in Fortaleza. Im April 1990 rief der damalige Präsident der Kirche, Ezra Taft Benson, Martins dazu auf, ein Mitglied im Zweiten Kollegium der Siebziger zu werden. Martins wurde die erste schwarze Generalautorität in der Geschichte der Kirche. Nachdem Martins die übliche Zeit von fünf Jahren im Zweiten Kollegium der Siebziger gedient hatte, wurde er am 30. September 1995 als Generalautorität ehrenhaft entlassen. Er starb im Mai 2005 im Alter von 74 Jahren im brasilianischen São Paulo. Die Geschichte seines Lebens wurde als Buch veröffentlicht. Sein Sohn Marcus wurde der Direktor des Religionsinstituts an der Brigham Young University von Hawaii. (de)

Born to descendants of African slaves in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Martins joined the LDS Church in 1972, despite his knowledge that the LDS Church did not then allow members of Black African descent to hold the priesthood or to receive temple ordinances. On 9 June 1978, Martins and his family heard of the announcement that the LDS Church was lifting the priesthood ban. After Martins received the priesthood and his temple ordinances, he served in the church as a bishop, counselor to a stake president, and as president of the Brazil Fortaleza Mission. In April 1990, church president Ezra Taft Benson called Martins as a member of the Second Quorum of the Seventy. Martins became the first black general authority in the LDS Church. After serving a standard five-year term as a member of the Second Quorum of the Seventy, Martins was honorably released as a general authority on 30 September 1995. He died in Santo André, São Paulo, Brazil at age 74. Martins dictated his life story which was published as The Autobiography of Elder Helvecio Martins. Martins' son, Marcus, is the chair of the religion department at Brigham Young University–Hawaii. (en)
