    I just want to echo what OON about the name of the church and what we call ourselves as members.

    I really don’t have any problem with a request to call the church itself by its proper, full name in order to include “Jesus Christ” in the name. It is long, but it is the actual name of the church. As a one-time emphasis, I am totally cool with it. However, I also tend to pair that introduction with an abbreviation and a different term for myself.

    Quote:

    “What church do you attend?” “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints” “blank expression” “The LDS Church – I’m Mormon”. “head nod” (with accompanying smile or scowl)”

    We need a revelation with a short name of the church with Christ in it, and a name for the adherents due to changes in technology in our modern day. Let’s get with it and stop trying to make a name that is too long, and conceived in the 18th century, fit. It’s a square peg in a round hole. Nelson is open minded, if anyone can create a new revelation for inclusion in the D&C it’s him…

    I nominate “The Church of Christology.” We could call ourselves Christologists.

    I like “The Church of Messiahntology,” too.

    Except that “ssiahntology” is already taken.

    If Nelson changes it to “The Restored Church of Jesus Christ”, so help me…
