The Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a denomination in the Latter Day Saint movement. The president of the church is Frederick Niels Larsen, a direct descendant of Joseph Smith. ==History== In the 1970s and 1980s, the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (now call the Community of Christ) was criticized from within its membership for various changes in policy and leadership. This included including female priesthood, the ending of doctrine of Lineal succession, and the construction of the Independence Temple.〔(Howard, R.P. (1992) ''Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS Church)'' ), Encyclopedia of Mormonism, New York: Macmillan, 1:1211〕〔Doctrine and Covenants, Section 156 (D&C Section 156 )〕 This led to several branches of the RLDS Church to form a group of independent Restoration Branches.〔 In May 1999, several members of this group met as the Conference of Restoration Elders, including Frederick Niels Larsen. They published the "Proclamation and Invitation to the Faithful", which lead to the creation of the ''Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints'' on April 6, 2000.〔 In April 2002, as a descendant of Joseph Smith, Larsen was chosen to become the President of the High Priesthood of the Remnant Church. Members of the Remnant Church also believe that Larsen is the "One Mighty and Strong", a person of unknown identity who was the subject of an 1832 prophecy by Joseph Smith.〔Letter from Joseph Smith to William W. Phelps, 1832-11-17, reprinted in ("Let Every Man Learn His Duty" ), ''Evening and Morning Star'', vol. 1, no. 8, pp. 121–22 (January 1833).〕〔See also reprint in Joseph Smith (B.H. Roberts ed.) (1902). ''History of the Church'' 1:297–99.〕 In the Remnant Church published a timeline for the construction of a temple in Jackson County, Missouri. Ground-breaking for the temple is listed as by April 2016, with completion by April 2018.〔 This would make the Remnant Church the eighth Latter Day Saint denomination to have built a temple.〔The other seven being the Church of Christ, the LDS Church, the Community of Christ, the Apostolic United Brethren, the Church of Christ (Wightite), the FLDS Church and the Righteous Branch.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
