The Restoration Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a denomination of the Latter Day Saint movement headquartered in Independence, Missouri. The church was formally organized on April 6, 1991 from members of the Community of Christ who had grown disaffected with the church when it began ordaining women and other late-20th-century changes. The early history of the church was heavily influenced by M. Norman Page, a Seventy in the Community of Christ who claimed to receive two revelations calling for a reorganization of the church. In 1993, Marcus Juby was named as the first president of the church, a position which he held until his resignation in 2001. Mark Evans was chosen as president shortly after Juby's resignation. In early 2007 President Mark Evans resigned for personal reasons. His counselor in the First Presidency, Woodrow ("Woody") Howell, became acting President. Howell was elected by the April 2009 General Conference of the Restoration Church as Prophet-President of the Church in his own right, and was set apart to that office on 11 April 2009. President Howell chose Argel Gross and Andrew Gross as his two counselors. The church currently has branches in Independence, Missouri; Atlanta, Georgia; Boise, Idaho; Apopka, Florida; Wichita, Kansas; Richmond, Missouri; Charleston, South Carolina; La Porte, Texas; and River Oaks, Texas. According to the Church's website (as of 24 October 2012) only the two Independence-area branches (Independence and Richmond) have any contact information provided.〔(Restoration Church - Directories ).〕 ==Books== ;The Holy Scriptures This is the Inspired Version of the Bible, as 'translated' by Latter Day Saint movement founder Joseph Smith. ;The Book of Mormon The Book of Mormon is considered to be a record of the Nephites. ;Doctrine and Covenants Only up to and including Section 144 of the Community of Christ edition. ;Restoration Revelations Authorized by the 1995 General Assembly, consists of inspired revelations presented to, and accepted by, the General Assemblies of the Church as the mind and will of God.
