Description:
Logan, UT: Utah State University Press, 2006. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. 231pp. Octavo [23.5cm]. Bound in light gray cloth, with title stamped in copper ink on the spine. In a lightly rubbed dust jacket. After the assassination of Joseph Smith in 1844, disputes regarding Brigham Young's succession led small groups of members to coalesce around other church leaders. Several of these groups, including those who had followed the free spirited, chemically dependent apostle Lyman Wight to Texas, ultimately gathered to form the early RLDS church, now known as the Community of Christ. Though the contemporary Community of Christ is often considered the most progressive branch of Mormonism (allowing women to hold leadership roles and supporting same sex marriages), the two churches shared many cultural similarities throughout the 19th century, including the practice of polygamy - though the RLDS faith never sanctioned the practice.
