Thank you for acknowledging the important role the English played in the early history of the Church. But no one ever mentions the role that my ancestor, Amasa Mason Lyman, played in the early history of the Church in England. He was an apostle at the time and in charge of the mission during the time he was there. Although he was later both excommunicated and reinstated, I think it is time that he is brought out of the obscurity that came because of his later temporary disaffection. Even former apostles should be at least mentioned if they played a significant role in early Church history.
