	Mormon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mormon is a colloquial term used to refer to adherents of the Latter Day Saint movement, and most commonly to the movement's original and largest group, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
		Individual leaders within the hierarchy of the LDS Church have sometimes made explicit effort to reject the use of the term "Mormon", as it does not include a reference to Jesus, whom the church asserts to be its central figure.
		LDS Church officials state "Mormon", "Mormon fundamentalist" and "Mormon dissident", when used in reference to organizations or groups outside of the LDS Church (especially those that practice plural marriage), is a misunderstanding of Mormon theology; in particular the principle of continuous revelation and Priesthood authority.
