The founder of the Mormon Church was Joseph Smith, who claimed to have had a series of visions beginning when he was a boy of fourteen. In these "visions" he claimed to have seen God, Christ, angels, particularly the angel, "Moroni." He allegedly was told that all existing churches were wrong, that he was to join none, and that the pure gospel and true church would be re-established through him. Smith claimed the angel Moroni appeared to him and revealed the hiding place of certain "gold plates" on which was inscribed the gospel. With the aid of Martin Harris, Oliver Cowdery and David Whitmer, Smith is
supposed to have translated these plates into what is now called the Book of Mormon. (borrowed with permission of Jack Thompsons' article titled "The Order of Denominations". There are many high quality pictures of the Temple available to view or download at this link:
