I go to church, that’s what we call it. The LDS congregations are called wards. The ward is the basic ecclesiastical unit in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

“Oh, and another thing LDS don’t go to church they go to ward.”

Wow. Did you get that from your LDS friends as well? Do you realize how you embarrass yourself when you make such errant claims? No offense, but you’ve got to do better research if nothing else than for your reputation.

According to you, we don’t know much about the bible. You portray yourself as someone who does. I’m interested in your take. Do you know, or are you just trying to divert?

Wards
The term "ward" in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is used to describe a congregation. Wards are usually made up of between 300-350 members (if there are too few members for a ward, the congregation is known as a "branch") all of whom live within a certain geographic area. Wards are based on where you live, and unlike many other religions, members are discouraged from choosing the ward they like best and are encouraged to attend the ward whose boundaries they live within.
