[edit] Abbreviation

I'm wondering whether LDS Church is the proper abbreviation for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Why is the term Mormon not used as the abbreviation if one must be used. LDS Church reads a bit awkwardly. Even Church of LDS would be better. Didn't want to change it without getting peoples' opinions. Thanks. Jasynnash2 (talk) 09:28, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

It's the standard abbreviation used in Wikipedia and is used as a disambiguator when necessary. See main article on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which consistently uses "LDS Church". See also Area (LDS Church), Adam and Eve (LDS Church), etc. "Mormon Church" can be used but I think the church favors "LDS Church" if an abbreviation must be used, and WP seems to comply with that. I've never heard "Church of LDS" being used anywhere. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 10:38, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
