The relationship between the LDS Church and the RLDS Church was adversarial from the start, each group determined to prove the other wrong. For years, leaders and members of both religions said and published harsh things about the other. Hard feelings were evident and misunderstandings were common. In recent years, a spirit of open communication and cooperation has developed between the two denominations. Thankfully, the feelings of animosity between church leaders have largely dissipated. However, among many LDS Church members there still exists much misunderstanding and misinformation about the origin, history, doctrine, and current status of Community of Christ.
When members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
visit Community of Christ historic sites or on the infrequent occasion when the topic of the RLDS Church comes up in conversation, many of their
statements and questions reveal that most LDS Church members are still
unfamiliar with much of Community of Christ's history and doctrine. The
following discussion hopes to bring clarity to ten common misconceptions
that many LDS Church members have about Community of Christ. -
