Overview

The Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a small restorationist church in the Josephite or RLDS-related stream.

History

It was organised in 2000 by people who sought continuity with earlier Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints traditions while differing from changes in Community of Christ.

It uses restorationist scripture and priesthood language and presents itself as continuing the original RLDS faith. Its particular canon, succession claims, and positions should be read in its own official documents.

Worship and practice

Worship includes restorationist Christian prayer, preaching, Scripture, sacraments, and congregational life.

Organisation and life

It has a separate prophetic and priesthood structure and is not governed by Community of Christ.
