Historical Differences Between The Churches
The Community of Christ was founded by the confederation of a number of smaller groups that declined to migrate with Brigham Young to Utah or follow any of the others vying to become the successor to Joseph Smith, Jr. Prior to the reorganization conference of 1860, numerous doctrinal differences were espoused by the leaders of the various splinter groups. Following the reorganization, these differences were formalized into a litany of what might now be called wedge issues.
The differences enumerated below characterize the major differences between The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Community of Christ.
