As a Christian who has long been a fan of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I am saddened and disappointed that the church leaders have decided to not only strip the word “Mormon” from its unofficial, but most well-known brand-name world-wide, but to actively campaign against its use.
Church President Russell M. Nelson has stressed on several occasions: “The Lord has impressed upon my mind the importance of the name he has revealed for His Church,” “It will be a challenge to undo tradition of more than 100 years,” and “It’s not Mormon’s church, it’s not Moses’ church, it’s the church of Jesus Christ.
