Perpetuating the Myth That Polygamists Are Mormons

I’m writing to point out an unfortunate accuracy [“Love Is in the Air,” July 9].

Those who practice polygamy are not, in fact, Mormons, but members of the relatively small Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Polygamy was officially discontinued by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1890. Any church member adopting the practice today is excommunicated. Groups that continue the practice in Utah and elsewhere have no association with the church.
