True Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
- True Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
The True Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or Reformed Mormon Church was a denomination of the Latter Day Saint movement. It was founded in the spring of 1844 in Nauvoo, Illinois by leaders dissenting from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The Reformed Church's president was William Law, a former counselor to Joseph Smith, Jr. (then President of the Church of Jesus Christ). Law was joined by Wilson Law, Robert D. Foster, Charles A. Foster, Francis M. Higbee, Chauncey L. Higbee and Charles Ivins. Members of the Reformed Church believed that “Mormonism” as it had been originally practiced was true but that the practice of plural marriage in particular was a corruption.
This group was responsible for printing the "Nauvoo Expositor".
