“The name and description of the community (or church) in the Book of Mormon was People of God, or Covenant People of the Lord. Those names, as well as a complex of related language, are linked with the making and renewal of the covenant binding the faithful to God. The covenant was at times renewed through rituals involving the entire community. Those rituals admonished and constituted, as they did with ancient Israel, what the Book of Mormon calls ‘ways of remembrance’ (1 Nephi 2:24)” (Midgley, “Prophetic Messages or Dogmatic Theology?” 98).
