Along the Community High Road: Joseph A. Geddes and the United Order in the 20th Century by Robert Parson In 1924 Joseph Arch Geddes published his Ph.D. dissertation The United Order Among the Mormons, Missouri Phase: The Unfinished Experiment. A decade later he wrote a Young Mens Mutual Improvement Association manual for the Mormon Church. The Community High Road to Better Things and his Ph.D. dissertation were both born of adversity. Since the 1890s the church had successfully distanced itself from the social experimentation of the past and by 1920 was more than disinterested in having the United Order revitalized through scholarly exploration.1 Similarly, the idea of Zion building as defined by Geddes in The Community High Road manual conflicted with the church's organizational trend. Whereas Geddes campaigned for local autonomy, church leaders during the 1930s focused more on centralization. Zion building was more than a religious term for Geddes. As a sociologist spending most of his career at Utah State Agricultural College, Geddes held that the church existed not only as a religious organization but also as a social institution.
