I'd institute missions where service in terms of building infrastructure, digging wells, preserving lands, and generally being altruists were the priority over baptizing people based on a sales pitch. I'd reorient the entirety of the church to increasing the temporal state of man so that he can achieve his potential here, on earth, his one chance at getting a mortal body, while simultaneously addressing his spiritual needs through Jesus' example. I'd attempt to develop a fraternity where men could spend time with men learning and mentoring one another. I'd ask the sisters to develop a sorority where they could learn from and mentor one another. I'd allow groups that feel marginalized to develop their own groups where they could learn from and mentor one another.
So on and so forth, progressive Liberal blah blah...

In the face of madness, rationality has no power - Xiao Wang, US historiographer, 2287 AD.
Every record...falsified, every book rewritten...every statue...has been renamed or torn down, every date...altered...the process is continuing...minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Ideology is always right.
“When we are confronted with evidence that challenges our deeply held beliefs we are more likely to reframe the evidence than we are to alter our beliefs. We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')

If this was simply a fantasy to try out a new way of being, I might try Brigham Young and experience being a despot. Just as long as it did not lead to a lasting corruption and multiple mortal probations

Brother Brigham was not a despot. He was a humble man -- probably the meekest man on earth. He submitted to brother Joseph in every way.
