Great suggestion for the new profiles on mormon.org

I was thinking it would be a great idea to have profiles created by members to be searched and found by wards and ward boundaries from the maps.lds.org. and not only by race, question or age (etc). That way non members who are considering visiting a ward for the first time and see services can view the profiles of the members in that ward and become familiar with some of the faces before attending.

That's a great idea - I'll pass on the suggestion.

I hope privacy concerns would be considered should such functionality be added. I would think some would want to opt-out/opt-in such data being public with their profiles.

Agreed. Though, the opportunity to skim over the congregation digitally might lower some angst in the investigator's mind.
