Latter-day Saint movement
The Latter-day Saint movement, also known as Mormonism, began in the early 19th century with Joseph Smith, who claimed to have received revelations and found ancient scriptures, including the Book of Mormon. It emphasizes a restoration of original Christianity, with beliefs in modern prophets, ongoing revelation, and the importance of family and community. The largest group within the movement is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which organizes religious practices, missionary work, and humanitarian efforts. The movement has a unique perspective on God, Jesus Christ, and human potential, advocating for a life of faith and service.
