Protecting Religious Liberty in a Rapidly Evolving Society

In her address at Inner Temple, London, the President of the Relief Society of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints underscores the importance of defending religious liberty while seeking common ground. Drawing from her legal background and the Relief Society's mission, she highlights the organization's role in providing both temporal and spiritual relief globally. Emphasizing principles of political neutrality, humanitarian aid, and collaboration, she advocates for the universal application of compassion and service, promoting unity and integrity amidst the challenges of an evolving society.

The Stewardship of Our First Freedom

If we are to respond to our secular critics and, more importantly, fulfill our accountability to God, we must go beyond our formally protected rights.
