The first statement about proselytizing Black people concerned enslaved individuals. In 1835, church policy was to not proselytize Black people held in slavery unless they had permission from their enslavers. This policy was changed in 1836, when Smith wrote that enslaved people should not be taught the gospel until their owners were converted.[21]: 14 Although the church had an open membership policy, it avoided opening missions in areas with large Black populations,[179]: 122 [2]: 157 discouraged people with Black ancestry from investigating the church,[58]: 27 [101]: 76 advised members to avoid social interaction with Black people,[20]: 89 and instructed Black members to segregate themselves when white members complained about having to worship with them.[1]: 67–68 Relatively few Black people who joined the church retained active membership prior to 1978.[180]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6nawyqv4delmsccyvogm6tk6/bafkreih5ubrutxkgwi75fgvxoghrh6cc2eaqudid4bpg3c6b5pvlzy7oqq)
