That's a great question, honestly. No idea.
They are a peculiar people (who are attempting to APPEAR less peculiar). Don't worry, they'll be mormon again in a few years.
I was born and raised in the Church (like most of us), and I never once heard someone say they were part of the "latter-day saint movement."
Though I actually kind of like it. It's a more open perspective that acknowledges the existence of other churches that also claim to be the legitimate continuation of the church Joseph Smith started.
Come to think of it, a bunch of churches claiming to be the only legit continuation sounds a lot like the great apostasy. I'm sure it doesn't count this time because... reasons.
Sounds to me like the creator is wanting a space for the off shoots to be involved? Inviting the Snufferites and the Apostolic Brethren seems like a bad approach...unless the idea is to expose mainstream Mormons to the breakaway?
Regardless, I agree, this is wierd.
