In the book Edgar keep talking about a place called the ward. Does anyone know what that is?

A "WARD" in the Mormon sense is the area in which a congregation lives. It is the geographic area attached to a certain place of worship. In Louisiana, the word "parish" is the Catholic correlate for "ward". A parish would have been the geographic region attached to a certain place/places of worship and that was shepherded by certain priests.
