Don't use 'Mormon' or 'LDS' as church name, president says
'But on Thursday Mormon church President Russell M. Nelson said he wants people to stop using "Mormon," or "LDS" as substitutes for the full name of the religion: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. '
'An updated style guide posted by the faith suggests using "the Church," "Church of Jesus Christ" or "restored Church of Jesus Christ" when a shortened reference is needed. '
'The 93-year-old Nelson ascended to church president in January when the previous president died. '
'For church members, it requests using "Latter-day Saints" or "members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."'
'The church has always requested use of the full name, but accepted the use of Mormon and LDS as short-hand. '
