On April 8, 2001 the denomination formerly known as Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints celebrated it's new name, Community of Christ. It is an international denomination with approximately 250,000 members in more than 50 nations. Legally organised in 1830, it has been known as Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints since 1860. In recent years, many have expressed desire for a name that more adequately represents the church's theology and mission: "We proclaim Jesus Christ and promote communities of joy, hope love and peace." Delegates at the 2000 Works Conference approved the new name with nearly 80 percent affirmative vote.
