As of 2009, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) is lead by Thomas S. Monson. He is President of the Church. He has two counselors, Dieter F. Uchtdorf and Henry B. Eyring. The Quorum of the Twelve Apostles assist them. The current 12 Apostles are: Boyd K. Packer, L. Tom Perry, Russell M. Nelson, Dallin H. Oaks, M. Russell Ballard, Richard G. Scott, Robert D. Hales, Jeffery R. Holland, David A. Bednar, Quentin L. Cook, D. Todd Christofferson, and Neil L. Anderson.

∙ 9y agoAfter Joseph Smith, Jr. was murdered, there was some controversy over who should lead the church. The majority of church members followed Brigham Young, these moved to Utah and continued what is known as the "Mormon" church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Others stayed back to follow Sydney Rigdon and eventually Joseph Smith III - this group is based in Missouri and is now known as the Community of Christ. Another small group followed James Strang, who claimed that Joseph Smith appointed him as sucessor. There are several hundred 'Strangite Mormons' scattered around the United States.
