Latter Day?
Hi, I've noticed once they write Latter-day which I understood as "End of days" and some sentences later they wrote it again but not with no - between, what is that?
" ... known officially as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), has nearly thirteen million members, more than half of them outside the United States. A smaller group, once known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints"

Hi, In modern English, people are often casual about including or omitting hyphens. They tend to be omitted quite often. Clive

Oh so it might have been "a mistake writing" ... so it has the same meaning in the first one I guess, thanks

As far as I can tell from their websites the two chruches spell their names differently.
The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints does not use a hyphen while the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does use a hyphen. Go figure.
