Methodern

Methodern is a term used to describe a person who is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), also known as the Mormon Church. The term is a portmanteau of "methodist" and "Mormon," reflecting the historical influence of Methodism on the early development of the LDS Church. Methodern is often used to describe individuals who are particularly devoted to the principles and practices of the LDS Church, often emphasizing a strong commitment to the teachings of Joseph Smith, the founder of the church.

The term can also refer to a person who is a member of the Community of Christ, formerly known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This church was formed in 1860 by a group of LDS members who left the original church due to disagreements over leadership and doctrine. The Community of Christ is known for its emphasis on the teachings of Joseph Smith and its commitment to the principles of the original LDS Church.

Methodern is a broad term that can be used to describe a wide range of individuals, from those who are deeply committed to the teachings of the LDS Church to those who are simply interested in learning more about the church and its beliefs. The term is often used in a neutral or positive context, reflecting the diverse and inclusive nature of the LDS Church and its various branches.
