New Church Article Explains the Need for Partnership Between Religion & Government

Religion and government are like a couple who sometimes have a hard time living together but who find they simply cannot live apart.

Ned C. Hill: Revisiting a miracle in Germany

I did not grow up in an active LDS home. My stepfather was a very good man who was as honest and hardworking as the day is long. He had picked up some bad habits during his years in the war and felt uncomfortable around active LDS people, but he always felt close to the church and its teachings. My mother was very caring and supportive — but she did not go to church very often either.
