The church was organized by James D. Harmston, who claimed to be visited by four angels (Enoch, Noah, Abraham, and Moses) who ordained him as an Apostle. The church practices polygamy and the Law of Consecration, which requires members to consecrate all their possessions to the church, which gives each member a "stewardship" according to their needs and wants. The church maintains the Red Brick Store in downtown Manti.
In 1998 two dissaffected members accused Harmston of racketeering and fraud when they failed to see Jesus. [1] (http://www.rickross.com/reference/tlc/tlc4.html) As of March 2005, the legal charges were dismissed pending further appeal by the members.
