	Wikipedia: Mormon
		The largest Mormon denomination is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and its members called Latter-day Saints (LDS).
		In a press release from 2001, the LDS Church stated that the word "Mormon" as an adjective in such expressions as "Mormon pioneers", "Mormons" as a noun in reference to members of the church, and "Mormonism" as a doctrine, culture, and lifestyle, were all acceptable.
		The LDS Church also notes that the use of the terms "Mormon", "Mormon fundamentalist" and "Mormon dissident" in reference to organizations or groups outside of the LDS Church (especially those that practice polygamy) is a misunderstanding of Mormon theology, in particular the principle of continuous revelation and Priesthood authority.

	Mormon -
		Members of the Community of Christ (formerly the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), which separated from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Nauvoo, Illinois, rarely use the term "Mormon" to describe themselves, and instead apply it to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
		Therefore, the only universally-accepted terminology in referring to Latter Day Saint denominations is to use the full name of the church, and to refer to individual Latter Day Saints as members or adherents of their particular denomination.
		However, this usage is problematic because "Mormon" is employed by members of other schisms of the early Latter Day Saint movement that were prior to the succession crisis.

	LDS (Mormon) Reference in Neil Simon movie "Chapter Two" (1979)
		Although Neil Simon is widely regarded as one of America's greatest and most important playwrights, Chapter Two is actually the only Neil Simon movie known to feature any overt references to the denomination that leading literary critic Harold Bloom called "the most American of religions": the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
		A key major plot point in Charly that has no analogue in Chapter Two is Charly's conversion from being a non-religious New Yorker to becoming a devout adherent of Sam's faith, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
		But this reference is trivial in comparison to the immeasurable impact the play had on Mormon culture by inspiring Weyland's pivotal book and subsequent influential career as one of Mormondom's best-selling novelists.

	LDS Church Presidents - Part I
		In no other place in the world can you get the training you can get here, and I would like to emphasize again that all the world has in the way of refinement, culture and education, a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints may enjoy without losing faith.
