Pastor Column: Unity through Jesus Christ
Elizabeth Bowden from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
In a beautiful hymn we sing the words, I Believe in Christ (LDS Hymn #134, text by Bruce R. McConkie, music by John Longhurst). The first verse is as follows:
“I believe in Christ; he is my king!
With all my heart to him I’ll sing;
I’ll raise my voice in praise and joy,
In grand amens my tongue employ.
I believe in Christ; he is God’s son.
On earth to dwell his soul did come.
He healed the sick; the dead he raised.

The author of a new biography about President Dallin H. Oaks is on a mission to set the record straight about the stern public image of the first counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints based in Salt Lake City.
Some church members, and even his own family members, don’t always see that in his face when President Oaks, who is 88, delivers serious, doctrinal talks during the faith’s semiannual general conferences. One of his daughters once told President Oaks that he sometimes looks mad when he speaks.
