Of all the sermons given during the 195th Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it was arguably the last one, delivered by the faith's 100-year-old president, that offered the most timely message: In a world grown coarse with hateful rhetoric, believers should be peacemakers. "True charity toward all men is the hallmark of peacemakers," President Russell M. Nelson said in a taped message that echoed sentiments he shared two years ago.

New temples are expected to be announced Sunday on the last day of the 195th Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If tradition holds, church President Russell M. Nelson, the most prolific temple builder in the faith’s history, will do the honors in closing remarks — either in person or via videotape — at the Conference Center in downtown Salt Lake City.

Russell M. Nelson is poised this weekend to preside over his 15th General Conference as president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A big question is whether he will do so in person. For the past couple of semiannual gatherings at the Conference Center in downtown Salt Lake City, the 100-year-old religious leader has used a wheelchair to attend a few sessions in person, while veiwing the remaining meetings from home.

In the mid-1970s, a tiny group of Latter-day Saint women in Boston launched a modest effort to discuss women's issues - past and present - in a magazine they called Exponent II (named after the newspaper of their Mormon foremothers, Woman's Exponent). These modern feminists did not challenge the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on, say, polygamy, priesthood or other doctrines. They focused primarily on the challenges of motherhood, marriage and material culture.
