Over time, many of those who rejected the LDS Church's relinquishment of polygamy formed small, close-knit communities in areas of the Rocky Mountains. These groups continue to practice "the Principle". In the 1940s, LDS Church apostle [[Mark E. Petersen]] coined the term "[[Mormon fundamentalism|Mormon fundamentalist]]" to describe such people.<ref>Ken Driggs, "'This Will Someday Be the Head and Not the Tail of the Church': A History of the Mormon Fundamentalists at Short Creek," ''[[Journal of Church and State]]'' '''43''':49 (2001) at p. 51.</ref> Fundamentalists either practice as individuals, as families, or as part of organized denominations. Today, the LDS Church objects to the use of the term "Mormon fundamentalists" and suggests using the term "polygamist sects" to avoid confusion about whether the main body of Mormon believers teach or practice polygamy.<ref name="pbs">{{Cite web |title=The Mormons .
