The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Ireland : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Ireland
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has had a presence in Ireland since at least 1840, when the Mormon missionary John Taylor preached in Belfast. He and other missionaries converted a number of Irish. Many of the converted emigrated in order to escape poverty (and later famine) as well as to live in majority Latter Day Saint communities.〔 However, some Latter Day Saints remained in Ireland. ==Membership==
Today The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (by far the largest Latter Day Saint denomination) claims 2,915 members in the Republic of Ireland.〔 This is contradicted by the 2006 and 2011 censuses which show, respectively, 1237 and 1284 people self-reporting as Latter-day Saints in the Republic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cso.ie/en/media/csoie/census/documents/census2011profile7/Profile,7,Education,Ethnicity,and,Irish,Traveller,entire,doc.pdf )〕 LDS Church membership statistics are typically different from attendance and self-reporting statistics mainly because the LDS Church does not remove an individual’s name from its membership rolls based on inactivity in the church.〔("Membership, Retention on the Rise" ), ''Ensign'', June 2007, pp. 75–80. ''Church membership growth numbers are often interpreted inaccurately, which can lead to misconceptions in the media, Brother Buckner said. Therefore, it is important to clearly understand what these numbers signify. They represent the number of Church members, but they do not represent activity rates. The Church does not remove an individual’s name from its membership rolls based on inactivity.''〕〔("Church Statistics Reflect Steady Growth" ). LDS Newsroom. 11 April 2007 ''it is a challenge for the Church to keep track of all of its members, especially if they do not regularly attend Sunday services. The Church does not remove an individual’s name from its membership rolls based on inactivity.''〕 Currently there are 13 congregations in the Republic of Ireland〔 and 11 congregations in Northern Ireland. Well-known Irish Latter day Saints include Charles Albert Callis who was a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and Robert Sands who was the first conductor of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
