After traveling to the Middle East and three European nations from February 20 through March 4, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve summed up his trip by saying that the uniformity of faithful devotion he found among Latter-day Saints of diverse cultures and nations was more striking than the differences in their languages and geographies. Elder Holland’s travels took him to the United Arab Emirates where he dedicated the Abu Dhabi Stake Center, the first building constructed by the Church in the Middle East, and on to the Netherlands, England, and Germany.

The event marked the 25th anniversary of the JRCLS—a nondenominational group that encourages attorneys to parlay personal religious conviction into meaningful public service and professional excellence. “I had the good fortune to be part of the founding of the [Clark] law society during my presidential years at BYU and the creation of its first chapter here in Washington, D.C.,” Elder Holland said during his remarks. “This a particularly sweet moment for me, coming back to the maternity ward where this baby was born and noting what a dazzling 25-year-old that child has become.”
