Stake (Mormonism)


 

A stake is an administrative unit composed of multiple congregrations in sects of the Latter Day Saint movement. A stake is comparable to a diocese in the Roman Catholic Church. The name "stake" derives from the phrase "stake in the tent of Zion" and is a reference to the stakes that upheld the Biblical tabernacle housing the Ark of the Covenant. For this reason, a stake is sometimes referred to as a "stake of Zion".

Strangites

Historically, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Strangite) maintained stakes in Voree, Wisconsin, Kirtland, Ohio, and on Beaver Island, Michigan, but today the church has only a single stake in Voree.
