MormonFAQ

Mormon FAQ page is under construction.

The purpose of this page is two-fold. First it is to give factual information about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons); second it is to give advice on the consistent use of words, names, places and other elements in writing. It is hoped that the information given will be helpful to journalists and others who write about the LDS church, its doctrines or beliefs. While this page is sponsored by a pro-LDS group, every effort has been made to take a neutral position on the issues presented here. There may be links in some of the entries. Be forewarned that following those links will lead to information that is likely sponsored by pro-LDS sources.

1.1 Restorationist Faiths
Restorationist faiths or churches are defined as all faiths who can trace their origins to

Joseph Smith, Jr. [1805-1844] and the religious manifestations that he had over the course of his life. Either directly or through some other faith. It is most important that the writer keep a neutral tone when reporting on events. This is of particular concern when the writer is a member of one of the restorationist churches. Pejoratives such as apostate or break-off should never be used except in direct quotes.
