We're individuals who have moved away from organized religion and have found peace and satisfaction in concentrating on the important things in life. We're just like you - parents, children, brothers, sisters, friends and partners. We've settled on a personal philosophy that makes sense in the 21st century. It's personal, important, and best of all, it isn't scary like so many churches these days. Some of us are completely new to Mormonism in general. Others have left other paths, such as the LDS church, seeking something more tolerant, inclusive, and rational. A little bit of history... Reform Mormonism is the newest denomination of Mormonism, and has its roots in the teachings of Joseph Smith - the first Mormon. We are currently the only Mormons whose theological basis is founded upon the unique teachings found in Joseph Smith's final sermon in Nauvoo, Illinois which reshaped the theological foundations of Mormonism in the 1840's. At the time of his death, Joseph Smith was actively engaged in what he called "a reformation" of Mormonism, and his teachings had become more progressive and universalistic. Following Joseph's example and continuing his unfinished reformation, Reform Mormons are non-creedal and embrace progressivism and universalism. Unlike most organizations based on Joseph's teachings, Reform Mormonism is a home-based spiritual path. Reform Mormons focus on the processes of self-actualization and eternal progression, seeking to become more like our Heavenly Father and Mother. Reform Mormonism has its own version of traditional Mormon ordinances such as Endowments, Washings, Anointings and Sealings. Reform Mormons are not fundamentalists or literalists in their approach to religion, but view all scripture and ordinances as artistic and symbolic endeavors, meant to inspire and assist individuals in their eternal progression. Reform Mormonism was formed in 2002. Its founders are still active within the movement.
