This article briefly described the fissure that eventually resulted in the founding of the Church of Jesus Christ - a conflict with the representatives of the Twelve Apostles, resulting in the creation of a proto-Cutlerite body. Its more detailed focus is a second conflict with a much longer history. As the newly formed Church of Jesus Christ (Cutlerite) began to develop its own sense of autonomy, it squared off against missionaries sent from the only slightly older Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The author argues that a small core of Cutlerites have survived as an autonomous body with a unique identity despite the appeal of other Mormon traditions, largely through their dependence on the "upper room work".
