Life on the rock - Denver Post

Published by Denver Post under News

Life on the rock Denver Post, CO - 3 hours ago They represent different faiths — Mormons, Baptists, Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and hybrids. ...
The Denver Post writes an interesting article about a family with two wives who apparently carved, with dynamite, houses into the rock of a mountain.  We always have to disclaim, however, that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, know nothing more about this type of thing than any other reader.  I personally lived in Utah for 14 years and never once met a polygamist. Grammatically, I didn't see anything incorrect.  The Denver Post does a good job, probably because it's within "the Mormon bubble"--the 5 states-area where Mormonism is either the first or 2nd largest religion.  They are also correct, stylistically, in referring to this group as the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
  • with the capital D,
  • no hyphen,
  • the lower-case "the," and
  • the word Fundamentalist appended to the front
as that is generally accepted as the name and/or indicator of that brand of formerly-LDS splinter groups.
