President Russell M. Nelson opened the 191st Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Saturday morning by calling the church “a great global family.”
He closed the three Saturday sessions 10 hours later by saying, “We need each other.”
Church leaders filled the day with poignant references to the hope of Easter morning, declaring that Jesus Christ’s suffering and resurrection are a remedy and healing balm powerful enough to conquer all of the challenges in a world they described as divided by pandemic, genocide, racism, loneliness, abortion, contention, death and more.
