-[[Category:Religions]][[category:organizations]]The [[Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] is a [[religious]] [[:category:organizations|organization]] founded in New York State (United States) in 1830. Its members are known throughout the world as "Mormons". Its headquarters today is in Salt Lake City, [[Utah]], where the Church has had significant influence since Mormons founded it in 1847 after gathering first in the Western Reserve area of Ohio in the 1830's, in western [[Missouri]] during the same timeframe, and in [[Illinois]] in the 1840's.
-===Usage===
-''Query: perhaps "mormonism" should be the religion, with a separate page? (the same way the [[Church of Scientology]] is separate from [[scientology]]) Research needed, e.g. see if this is something addressed by Wikipedia.''
-===Related===
-* The [[Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints]] is a "breakaway sect" which still practices [[polygyny]].
