This article refers to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as it relates to Nationstates. For more general information, please see the Wikipedia article on the subject.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a religious organization which considers itself a restoration of the original Christian Church founded by Jesus and his Apostles.
The Church teaches that God and his son Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph Smith and told Jospeh that non of the churches he was curious about were true and that he should join non of them. He was called him to be a prophet and to restore essential elements of Christianity which had been lost between the ministry of Paul of Tarsus and the First Council of Nicea. A new book of scriptures, the Book of Mormon was delivered to Smith to be usedin addition to the Bible.
The Church is, in theory, headed by a First President. However, as with all centralized religion authorities in Nationstates, it is near impossible to determine definitively who the First President is. Some Mormon communities acknowledge Gordon B. Hinckley (the RL First President) as first President while others recognize roleplayed First Presidents such as Carter Blackmun of the Commonwealth of Peoples.
