Clarification about Distribution of Materials

Over the past few months, a US-based organization has sent materials to academics, politicians and leading representatives of the religions in the UK and other countries. This group calls itself "Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" (FLDS).

Despite the confusingly similar name this group is not organizationally connected with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a worldwide Christian church, whose followers are also known as "Mormons". Those who receive such mail can be sure that it does not come from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Style Guide Note:When reporting about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, please use the complete name of the Church in the first reference. For more information on the use of the name of the Church, go to our online Style Guide.
