INDEPENDENCE, MISSOURI -- While the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints met in annual conference in Salt Lake City, Utah
last week, the Church's step-sister, the RLDS church, was in
conference in Independence. The Church, whose membership is now at a
quarter million, is undergoing a few changes as it becomes more of a
world-wide church.
Among the changes are the installation of a new Apostle, Bunda C.
Chibwe, and African of Zambia; and the consideration of changing the
name of the Church to "Community of Christ" (Although it's
legal name would remain the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints).
