Living in the last days: What President Nelson taught 10 years ago that applies to us perfectly today
By Gerald N. Lund
While serving as a General Authority Seventy, I had one of those unexpected teaching moments that life presents to us. This was when the financial crash was in full swing and our country was experiencing the most drastic drop in the economy since the Great Depression. Every day there were new announcements. The stock market crash. The collapse of the housing market. Major banks, mortgage companies, retirement funds, and investment houses were failing. There was talk of massive government bailouts. Unemployment was skyrocketing. A dark cloud had settled over the country and was spreading to other nations.

Gay Latter-day Saint Shares the Beautiful Way Some Members Embraced Him Following Policy Changes
By Ben Schilaty
I am not in a same-sex relationship. I have no plans to marry a man. I have no children. The November 2015 policy said nothing about gay Latter-day Saints like me. And yet when I read about the policy, I felt pain and confusion. You see, the hurt came from wondering if the church didn’t want people like me. The hurt came from feeling excluded. The hurt came from fearing that if I chose to be in a same-sex marriage that I would be erased from my people.
Two congregations of different faiths forge friendship in the wake of devastation
As government agencies, churches and other nonprofit organizations work to help residents recover from Hurricane Sandy, an interfaith bond forged in the aftermath of another storm is an example of the good that can come from difficult circumstances. On 22 May 2011, the deadliest tornado in the United States in over 60 years tore through Joplin, Missouri. Local authorities estimated 25 to 30 percent of Joplin was damaged. Leaders of two local congregations, the Community of Christ church and the Joplin Second Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, reached out to one another in the wake of the storm.
Mormon who led Salt Lake City makeover steps aside
H. David Burton, longtime presiding bishop of the LDS Church and the genial public face of the faith’s decadelong effort to build a mammoth urban community of residences, offices and shops in downtown Salt Lake City, was released Saturday from the ecclesiastical post he has held since 1996. The announcement — by Dieter F. Uchtdorf, second counselor in the faith’s governing First Presidency, during the 182nd Annual General Conference — came just nine days after the church and Taubman Centers Inc. opened the retail component of City Creek Center, across the street from Temple Square and LDS Church headquarters.
Mormons get double dose of growing religious intolerance
A report published Monday by The Liberty Institute and Family Research Council “…catalogs the growing hostility towards religious expression right here in the U.S.” The report further states that religious groups are “…facing a relentless onslaught by well-funded and aggressive groups and individuals who are using the courts, congress and the vast federal bureaucracy to suppress and limit religious freedom." Beyond the report’s findings of general intolerance, its seems that the Mormon faith faces additional attacks and persecution most frequently from fellow believers in ultra conservative Christian faiths.

The money behind the Mormon message
In late March, the LDS Church completed an ambitious project: a megamall. Built for about $2 billion, the City Creek Center stands across the street from the faith’s iconic Salt Lake Temple. ... "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints attends to the total needs of its members," said Keith B. McMullin, who for 37 years served within the Mormon leadership and now heads a church-owned holding company, Deseret Management Corp., or DMC, an umbrella organization for many of the faith’s for-profit businesses. "We look to not only the spiritual but also the temporal, and we believe that a person who is impoverished temporally cannot blossom spiritually."
