The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Transition
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is experiencing a moment of mourning and transition. A recent shooting and arson at a meetinghouse in Michigan resulted in four deaths and eight injuries.
Additionally, the church's president, Nelson, passed away at the age of 101. Following his death, Oaks was announced as the new president of the church.
The church is now led by Oaks, the longest-serving of the church's top leaders.
The church's global faith is more diverse than many realize, and the new president inherits this complex and dynamic community.
