Members of the Mormon church give 10% of their income to the Church to help build new temples, keep current churches and materials in shape, and attend other necessities.
== == Not only do Mormons pay tithing, but also have the opportunity to contribute to Fast Offering, to help the poor and needy; missionary funds to assist the missionaries; the Book of Mormon fund to help with its publication; Humanitarian Aid to help the needy in other countries; the Temple Construction fund; the Perpetual Education fund to assist youngsters to receive an education, particularly in very disadvantaged areas. The church has it own farms and distribution centers where articles of food, clothing and the like are sent to countries and people in need everywhere. Millions of dollars worth of goods are sent around the world every year. When there is a need to assist, you will find the Mormon church at the forefront. And you will not hear of it, either ... there are no fanfares, just love in action. == == The Mormon church does not distribute a financial statement yearly, even to its own members. See link below for more information.
None.
No, he is not a Christian. He is a Mormon, and the Mormon Church (also called Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) is not recognized as part of the mainstream Christian church.
Approximately 2% of Americans are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' Church). The concentration of Mormons is much higher in the western US than in the east. For example, in Utah, about 60% of the population is Mormon. Arizona is 6% Mormon, Washington state is 4% Mormon, and Wyoming is 11% Mormon. Compare these numbers to east coast states, such as New Jersey (0.4% Mormon), New Hampshire (0.6% Mormon) and Alabama (0.7% Mormon).
His cousin is Julianne Hough and her family is Mormon so I believe the lynch family is as well. Sadly he is not a Christian I beg to differ. I definitely know that if he is Mormon he is very much a Christian. The Mormon Church's official title is The Church of Jesus-Christ of Latter-Day Saints. If that is not Christian, what is?
It would be impossible to say, as Mormons don't report their salaries to the Church, and don't report their religion when they pay taxes. Some members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are homeless and unemployed. Others are multimillionares. Some live in small huts and shacks in impoverished third world nations, and some own multiple mansions. The average Mormon is somewhere between. There are almost 14 million members of the Mormon church worldwide, and 60% of those live outside the United States. While there is great economic diversity within the Church, members are encouraged to help those who are less fortunate than them, and generally do. The Church provides support to it's members who are unemployed, homeless, and hungry to ensure that they have access to the basic necessities of life.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) follow the Biblical practice of the Tithe, which means giving 10% of your increase to the church. According to Mitt Romney's tax returns, he gave $1.53 million to the Church in 2010, and earned 21.7 million. In 2011, he gave 2.6 million to the Church, and earned 21 million. Over the two year period, this equals out to be just less than the 10% rate.
The majority of people that work in a church do so voluntary so they dont earn anything for their efforts
Salt Lake City was started by a group of several thousand Mormon Pioneers. The man who directed much of the city planning was Brigham Young, the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) at the time.
Stastically speaking, it isn't surprising that none of the presidents of the United States have been members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church). Only about 2% of the American population is Mormon, and the number of Mormons as a percentage of the population has only recently hit that high, it used to be much much less.
As of January 2010, there were 6,058,907 baptized members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) in the United States. This means that approximately 2% of Americans are Mormons. The concentration of Mormons is much higher in the western US than in the east. For example, in Utah, about 60% of the population is Mormon. Arizona is 6% Mormon, Washington state is 4% Mormon, and Wyoming is 11% Mormon. Compare these numbers to east coast states, such as New Jersey (0.4% Mormon), New Hampshire (0.6% Mormon) and Alabama (0.7% Mormon).
No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) stopped allowing it's members to have more than one wife over 120 years ago in October 1890. Anyone found practicing polygamy since then has been kicked out of the Church. The only way that a Mormon may marry more than once is if their spouse dies or if they are divorced. There were some who disagreed with this new policy who left the Mormon church to begin their own groups. Many of these groups still exist today and do still practice polygamy. Sometimes these groups are called "Fundamentalist Mormons" because they broke off the of the Mormon church, however they are not affiliated with the Mormon church in any way and have tried to distance themselves from the Mormon Church as much as possible.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) has a lay clergy - meaning that there are no professional or paid preachers. Church members are expected to serve each other by sharing the responsibilities of teaching and preaching. They support their families with regular employment, and provide their service to the church for free. The highest leaders in the church - the 'General Authorities'- are called to serve the church full-time, and therefore cannot maintain regular employment. They do not recieve a salary, but they recieve their necessities from the church. Generally this includes a church-owned apartment and vehicle, a 'living allowance' to purchase food and clothing, and medical care.
