In 1882, Evans became a <a href="/wiki/Priest_(Latter_Day_Saints)" title="Priest (Latter Day Saints)">priest</a> in the church, and in 1884 and 1886 he became an <a href="/wiki/Elder_(Latter_Day_Saints)" title="Elder (Latter Day Saints)">elder</a> and a <a href="/wiki/Seventy_(Latter_Day_Saints)" title="Seventy (Latter Day Saints)">seventy</a>, respectively. </p><p>On April 12, 1897, at a <a href="/wiki/World_Conference_(Community_of_Christ)" title="World Conference (Community of Christ)">general conference</a> of the RLDS Church, Evans was made an apostle and a member of the <a href="/wiki/Council_of_Twelve_Apostles_(Community_of_Christ)" title="Council of Twelve Apostles (Community of Christ)">Council of Twelve Apostles</a>.

When Joseph Smith III died in 1914 and Frederick Smith took control of the church, Evans' frustration over being overlooked as a worthy successor continued to grow.<sup id="cite_ref-pretender_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-pretender-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1918, Evans broke with the RLDS Church.

A number of RLDS Church members in <a href="/wiki/Toronto" title="Toronto">Toronto</a> followed Evans, and they began a church they called the <b>Church of the Christian Brotherhood</b>.

In 1919, the RLDS Church sued Evans in the <a href="/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_Ontario" title="Supreme Court of Ontario">Supreme Court of Ontario</a> to recover these funds; while the case was dismissed at trial, the church's appeal was successful and Evans' church was forced to return the funds to the RLDS Church. Shortly before the trial, Evans was excommunicated from the RLDS Church for <a href="/wiki/Apostasy" title="Apostasy">apostasy</a> and mismanagement of church funds. </p><p>In 1920, Evans published a book explaining why he left the RLDS Church. He wrote that while the "Reorganized 'Mormon Church' does not teach or practice polygamy", the "great sin" of the church "is in denying that Joseph Smith, their prophet, seer and revelator, received revelations commanding the church to enter into that God dishonoring and woman debasing doctrine under pain of eternal damnation".<sup id="cite_ref-pagefour_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-pagefour-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Faced with these facts, Evans concluded that he "could no longer believe that God and Christ visited and conversed with Smith" and that he must have been a <a href="/wiki/False_prophet" title="False prophet">false prophet</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-pagefour_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-pagefour-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Although it was not central to his reasoning, Evans opined that Frederick M.
