"From a small, esoteric group in upstate New York, the Mormon movement has expanded around the world and splintered into numerous well-established religions. While occasionally referencing other religions within the Mormon movement, this chapter will primarily focus on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which is the largest and most international of the Mormon religions. The international expansion of the LDS Church initially took place in fits and starts. As Bartholomew, McDannell, Otterstrom and Plewe, and Stewart detailed in their chapters in this volume, the policy of gathering stunted international growth for much of the first century of the religion (1830–1930), preventing the religion from building a local base of members in the various countries where the leadership sent missionaries. Once converts were encouraged to stay where they were, international growth increased." [Author]
