More on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Description from Wikipedia:
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the fourth largest Christian denomination in the United States and the largest and most well-known denomination originating from the Latter Day Saint movement founded by Joseph Smith, Jr. on April 6, 1830. The Church is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, and has established congregations and temples worldwide, reporting approximately 13 million members on its rolls.
Adherents—usually referred to as Latter-day Saints, LDS, or Mormons—are Restorationist Christians and are not a part of the Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church or any of the varied Protestant traditions. The Church teaches that sometime after the events depicted in the New Testament, there was a Great Apostasy, or loss of authority to lead Christ's Church, to preach the Gospel, and to administer the ordinances of the Church. Because men relied on their own knowledge to understand the Gospel, the fullness of Jesus Christ's gospel was lost from the earth.
Jesus Christ is viewed as the head of the Church, leading it today through revelations given to a hierarchy of priesthood leaders to whom the authority has been restored. The highest-ranking leader is the President of the Church, who is considered to be a prophet and an apostle.
The Church teaches that four authoritative books of scripture contain the word of God: the Holy Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price.
