Homeless Drug Addict Sees LDS Easter Video, Converts and Finds New Life in Message

For their 2017 Easter initiative, the Church is highlighting eight remarkable stories that illustrate principles of peace. Among them is a story of redemption and repentance—the story of Melody Callier. "Who am I to be the face of the church?

A Response to the Congressman Who Attacked LDS Church's Immigration Stance

Video revives debate over Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith

Mitt Romney has largely avoided discussing the details of his Mormon faith throughout this year’s presidential race, speaking in general terms about his church-related values and charitable deeds.
