  1. Latter-day Saint

    The Latter Day Saint movement (also called the LDS movement, LDS restorationist movement, or Smith–Rigdon movement) is the collection of independent church groups that trace their origins to a Christian Restorationist movement founded by Joseph Smith in the late 1820s. Collectively, these churches have over 16 million members, although about 98% belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The predominant theology of the churches in the movement is Mormonism, which sees itself as restoring the early Christian church with additional revelations. A minority of Latter Day Saint adherents, such as members of Community of Christ, have been influenced by Protestant theologies while maintaining certain distinctive beliefs and practices including continuing revelation, an open canon of scripture and building temples. Other groups include the Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which supports lineal succession of leadership from Smith's descendants, and the more controversial Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which defends the practice of polygamy.

  1. latter-day saint

    A Latter-day Saint generally refers to a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the Mormon Church. The church was founded in the early 19th century by Joseph Smith, who claimed to have experienced a series of religious visions. The term "Latter-day Saint" is derived from the church's belief that they are followers of Jesus Christ in the modern, or "latter" days. Members of the church follow a religious text known as the Book of Mormon, in addition to the Bible. They are known for their focus on family life, community service, and missionary work. They are often colloquially referred to as "Mormons".
