The triangle

So in Independance there are three different branches of the church that all own adjoining property. There is our branch, the mainstream line of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We have the visitor's center we visited. Then there is the Community of Christ (the re-named RLDS group) which own the Tower of Babel-esque temple, and then some other small old fringe group call the Church of Christ who owns the field with the old temple cornerstones.

Here is what the city of Indepedence's website says:

Independence has a rich religious heritage shared by many different faiths. However, the Mormon Church (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints), the Community of Christ (formerly Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), and Church of Christ (Temple Lot) share a profound Independence heritage. The three faiths were one church (called the Church of Christ) in 1831 when leader Joseph Smith, designated Independence as the site of "Zion." Approximately 2,000 church members followed their leader Smith to Independence in the early 1830s and established an industrious colony with two newspapers, a mercantile shop and several other businesses. But, the locals did not eagerly welcome these immigrants from New York and Ohio and were suspicious of their more liberal attitudes toward the Native Americans and their distain for slavery. By 1833, the Mormons (nicknamed for their belief in the Book of Mormon) had been run out of Independence and were eventually banished from the state of Missouri. Visitors to Independence can learn more about the early pioneer life of the Mormon settlers and the myths and realities of the breakup of the church to form the LDS, Community of Christ, and Church of Christ (Temple Lot) faiths. The Mormon Visitors Center, the Community of Christ Temple and Auditorium, Church of Christ (Temple Lot) and a new walking tour of early Mormon heritage sites help bring to life the story of these churches’ pursuit of religious freedom in the Heartland.
