Mosiah 26:8 Now king Mosiah had given Alma the authority over the church.
Mosiah 26:10 Now there had not any such thing happened before in the church; therefore Alma was troubled in his spirit, and he caused that they should be brought before the king.
11 And he said unto the king: Behold, here are many whom we have brought before thee, who are accused of their brethren; yea, and they have been taken in divers iniquities. And they do not repent of their iniquities; therefore we have brought them before thee, that thou mayest judge them according to their crimes.
12 But king Mosiah said unto Alma: Behold, I judge them not; therefore I deliver them into thy hands to be judged.
LESSON LEARNED: A balance of church and state is a healthy state of affairs in today’s world, and functions best when both sides understand their role and are careful not to overstep their bounds.
