As B.H. Roberts so eloquently argued all those years ago, it's both the Lord's Church and the people's Church (a notion of the prophet's Church seems problematic to me). Roberts came to the conclusion that:

It's the Church

of Jesus Christ

and

of the Latter Day Saints


Fundamentalists, sychophants, and those who would esteem one flesh over another, who would worship Church leaders, have forgotten the second "of."
