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.

H.

"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.
