I do not know if anyone caught this but Sarah mentioned that She and Scott were wanting to check out the Community of Christ Church. The Community of Christ Church used to be called the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. (RLDS) They were formed because of a dispute over Church leadership following the death of Joseph Smith. They thought that succession should be passed from father to son and their first leader was Jospeh Smith’s eldest son. They vehemently deny that Joseph ever practiced polygamy and say it was something Brigham Young started although there are volumes of evidence to prove otherwise.
Sarah and Scott may have rejected the LDS Church which they were both brought up in, but they may not have rejected their faith entirely. It is still Mormon based. The CofC Church uses the Book of Mormon as well as the Bible.

Good catch. I didn't realize that she said Community of Christ church. That is very interesting.

Hmmm - I thought sure Sarah said they were thinking of checking out the United Church of Christ, which I thought was perfect for them - a very liberal, welcoming denomination.

Good catch Zoar. I didn't realize that RLDS had changed it's name either. Interesting, I wonder if we will see them go to a service.

My Bad, It is United Church of Christ. But if It had been CofC they practice a very progressive type of Mormonism which would have fit in with Sarah's views.

I know nothing of United Church of Christ going to have to go do a little research. Was hoping it was what used to RLDS just to show all three different branches of Mormon.

I went their website, it seems to be way too progressive for me.

On the episode they said 'church of christ'. What was meant was 'united church of christ'. church of christ is very exclusive and fundamentalist. United Church of Christ is inclusive and liberal.
