From the earliest years of the Reorganization, Community of Christ, leaders and members alike emphasized several theological questions that underscored its core values. they couched most of these questions in negative arguments against Brigham Young and his followers in Utah. Indeed, their main purpose was to "expose" the "evils of Mormonism" with particular personal animosity toward Brigham Young as a perceived usurper. This article reviews the history of early Community of Christ missionary work in Utah, with a particular focus on the content of the Church's missionary periodical The Messenger, whose purpose was declared to be "the deliverance of [the Utah church's] victims."
