In 1984, the Grand Lodge of Utah and church leadership, under church president Spencer W. Kimball, mutually agreed to drop their antagonistic positions. The Grand Lodge of Utah rescinded its ban on members of the church, and the church removed language from the "Church Handbook of Instructions" that discouraged members from joining oath-bound fraternities. The "Encyclopedia of Mormonism", a quasi-official 1992 publication, clarified the church's position by stating that "the philosophy and major tenets of Freemasonry are not fundamentally incompatible with the teaching, theology, and doctrines of the Latter-day Saints."
