'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. '
