I am curious, though, the reasoning for protecting just the names of
the Wards and Stakes? Is anyone aware of why this would be protected
outside of personal use? I understand personal data, but I would
think allowing publication of Ward and Stakes, and even locations
would be beneficial in spreading the word even further on where your
local LDS congregation meets. Is there a file anywhere I can get this
from without violating the Church's EULA through scraping Mormon.org
<http://Mormon.org>? My only other option is to have users type in
their Wards and Stakes, which bring in chances for inaccuracies.
It is very difficult to anticipate all of the types of data and uses
that people can think of when wanting to use data generated by the
Church. I don't know if the Church would have a problem using the ward
and stake names data but I would recommend that you contact the
membership department to find out.
