Editing Messenger and Advocate (section)

==Rigdonite ''Messenger and Advocate''==
In 1844, Sidney Rigdon asserted a claim to be the successor of Joseph Smith and he organized a group of Latter Day Saints in [[Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania]].<ref>Savery, Richard, "[http://www.sidneyrigdon.com/RigWrit/M&A/pdfs/MA-1-01.pdf  Minutes of a Conference Held in Pittsburgh, Oct. 12th 1844]," ''[Rigdon's] Latter Day Saints' Messenger and Advocate'', October 15, 1844, pp. 11–12.</ref> This group began to publish a periodical in 1845 that revived the name, ''Latter Day Saints' Messenger and Advocate''. Ebenezer Robinson (founding publisher of the LDS newspaper ''[[Times and Seasons]]'') became the printer of this [[Rigdonite]] paper. After Rigdon changed the name of the church back to the original "[[Church of Christ (Latter Day Saints)|Church of Christ]]," the periodical became the ''Messenger and Advocate of the Church of Christ''.
