Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley Lesson 19: "Priesthood Leadership in the Church of Jesus Christ"
By Kelly Merrill
The major burden of the priesthood of God is to serve God’s children. The higher the office in the priesthood, the greater the expectation to serve well and much.

By Barbara Morgan Gardner
I recently sat with a number of members of the Community of Christ, previously known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, as part of an interfaith dialogue.
