Political Factoid
The majority of members of
the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints (a.k.a.
the Mormons), as a
prerequisite to obtaining
Utah statehood, split from
the other members of the
church and abandoned the
original church practice of
polygamy .
The remaining, more conservative
members then became the
Fundamentalist Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints (FLDS),
which now numbers an estimated
10,000 members, mostly in Utah,
Texas, Arizona, Colorado, South
Dakota and British Columbia.
