WHAT DOES MORMON MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Mormon

Mormons

Mormons are a religious and cultural group related to Mormonism, the principal branch of the Latter Day Saint movement of Restorationist Christianity, which began with the visions of Joseph Smith in upstate New York during the 1820s. After Smith's death in 1844, the Mormons followed Brigham Young to what would become the Utah Territory. Today, most Mormons are understood to be members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some Mormons are also either independent or non-practicing. The center of Mormon cultural influence is in Utah, and North America has more Mormons than any other continent, though the majority of Mormons live outside the United States. Mormons have developed a strong sense of communality that stems from their doctrine and history. During the 19th century, Mormon converts tended to gather to a central geographic location, and between 1852 and 1890 a minority of Mormons openly practiced plural marriage, a form of religious polygamy. Mormons dedicate large amounts of time and resources to serving in their church, and many young Mormons choose to serve a full-time proselytizing mission.

10 QUOTES WITH «MORMON»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word Mormon.
1
Amy Adams
I grew up as a Mormon, and that had more of an impact on my values than my beliefs. I'm afraid I will always feel the weight of a lie. I'm very hard on myself anyway. Religious guilt carries over too. You can't really misbehave without feeling badly about it. At least, I can't.
2
Scott Anderson
So many times in the history of Mormon polygamy, the outside world thought it had the movement on the ropes only to see it flourish anew.
3
Scott Anderson
In keeping with original Mormon teachings, much of the property in Hildale and Colorado City is held in trust for the church. Striving to be as self-sufficient as possible, the community grows a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, and everyone, including children, is expected to help bring in the yield.
4
Dan Bartlett
The Mormon issue is a real problem in the South; it's a real problem in other parts of the country. But people are not going to say it. People are not going to step out and say, 'I have a problem with Romney because he's Mormon.' What they're going to say is he's a flip-flopper... It's a fact; it's reality.
5
Joseph Bologna
Why can't she move in with you? Is she against that? She's not a Mormon or anything, is she?
6
Dave Brubeck
The first choral music I remember hearing was Handel's 'Messiah' when the Mormon Tabernacle Choir broadcast it over the radio.
7
David Campbell
That's the dirty little secret of Mormon growth. Lots of baptisms don't necessarily translate into long-term membership.
8
Lynne Cheney
Well, my father's people were Mormon, and had immigrated not long after Brigham Young had settled Utah.
9
Clayton M. Christensen
I'd been raised Mormon, but there comes a time where you are not following what you've been taught, but discovering for yourself if it's true.
10
Jane Clayson
I am a Mormon because I love the Lord Jesus Christ. And as I exercise faith in Him, I am blessed with the Holy Spirit in my life.
