Tens of thousands of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints gathered during the weekend in Salt Lake City for an event twice annual that some compare to a family meeting. He fell at a heavy time for this family, which has more than 17 million members around the world.
Its president, Russell Mr. Nelson, died on September 27. The next day, a man armed in Michigan crushed a van in a church of the holy days of the last days and opened fire. The attack killed four faithful and a fire then consumed the building of the church. The people who knew the shooter, who was shot by the police, said that he had a grudge against the Church of Jesus Christ of the Holy Days since the painful end of a relationship with a woman from Utah.
A few weeks earlier, conservative activist Charlie Kirk was murdered on a university campus less than an hour from Salt Lake City, putting the region of origin of the Church to the epicenter of national history of cultural polarization and political violence.
Several speakers, who are taken from the highest levels of leadership in the church, have made tears while they were talking on stage and in the interviews this weekend.
The eldest Gary E. Stevenson was one of the many speakers to refer directly to the attack on Grand Blanc, Michigan, on the scene. “Our hearts are loss of mourning,” Stevenson, who belongs to the second largest organization said on Saturday morning on Saturday morning
The church endured the period of mourning without an official leader. During the conference, Dallin H. OAKS, the next president of the Church, reported a familiar priority for the future of the Church, telling members of the final address on Sunday that they should resist national trends in the decline in marriage and birth rate rates.
