∙ 14y ago
The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was an early breakaway movement from the original Mormon Church. In a dispute over the right of succession after the death of the founder, Joseph Smith, his wife and son, Joseph Smith III, left to form a new group under the leadership of Joseph Smith III. It changed its name to the "Community of Christ" in 2001.
The group has always rejected polygamy. Joseph Smith III was so opposed to polygamy that he would not even believe that his father had practised it.
The Church has a membership of around half a million persons, and is said to be currently experiencing financial difficulties.

When was Latter-day Saints' church established?
After the murder of the prophet, Joseph Smith, some felt that the presidency of the church should go from father to son and that Joseph Smith's son should lead the church. The senior apostle, Brigham Young, led the LDS church away from the persecution, but the reorganized church stayed in the Eastern states. Eventually the reorganized church ran out of the bloodline who wanted to lead the church.
What is the difference between Latter Day saints and the reformed latter-day saints?
There is no church called the "Reformed" Latter-day Saints, perhaps you are thinking of "Re-organized"? The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints broke off of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the death of Joseph Smith. Since 1999, the Reorganized Church has been called the Community of Christ. There are many differences between the Community of Christ and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. While they share the first 15 years of their church history, it is often told with slight differences. The Community of Christ has about 250,000 members with headquarters in Independence, Missouri. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has about 14,000,000 members with headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah. The official websites of both churches are listed below under "Related Links".
Is there another name for the Reformed Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints?
Actually, "Mormon" is the other name. The official name of the Church is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Church members prefer to be called "Latter-day Saints" or "LDS". "Mormon" is a nickname given to them by those who oppose the Church.
Does the reconized ladder day saints practice polygamy?
Are you referring to the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Restoration Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or the Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the largest of the above, but changed its name to "Community of Christ" in 2001, and therefore is no longer referred to as "RLDS". They do not practice polygamy and often deny that Joseph Smith taught or practiced the doctrine. The Restoration Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a smaller group that broke off from the Community of Christ in 1991. They do not practice polygamy either. The Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is another small group which broke off of the Community of Christ. Their origins are in the year 2000. They do not practice polygamy. Don't get the above confused with the Restoration Church of Jesus Christ, which broke off from the main body, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They are known for their open practice of homosexuality, and at least a handful of members are in openly homosexual polygamous relationships. It is the FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), not the RLDS that is known for its practice of polygamy.
