The emergence of the Cutlerite schism is analyzed. Exception is taken to previous assessments of the Cutlerites made by Richard E. Bennett and D. Michael Quinn. He argues that many things contributed to the schism including personality differences, organizational goals, authority, disaffection with the practice of plural marriage, frontier hardships, etc. The Church was principally interested in gathering its scattered members to Utah while Cutler and his followers were committed to Lamanite ministries. This disagreement over priorities fueled the conflict between the Iowa Silver Creek Branch and the Iowa high council. By labeling Cutler a deviant and an apostate, the high council justified his excommunication. This action helped clarify, define, and legitimatize the authority of Brigham Young and his fellow apostles during a difficult period when the Church was trying relocate its physically and spiritually scattered people.
