Another abbreviation is LDS but I'm sure most people are more familiar with Morman. Marie In a message dated 1/25/2008 12:35:34 A.M.

My use of the term Mormon was to keep the message brief, and I find the term (at least in my experience) more readily understood than the longer term, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. In my area of the south most religious faiths are down to one word names. If you have a "whole mouth full" in the name, my kin tend to get confused. <grin> So I'm kinda use to keeping it simple. I appreciate your tolerance, and will try to get it right in the future.

(Laugh) However, the term "Mormon" is incorrectly used. Mormon refers to the "Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ," which, along with the Bible are the standard works (or references) used by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, so the correct term is Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. But, to quote my cousin Steve: "Call me whatever you want, just as long as you call me to dinner."
