The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Transition
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has spent the past few weeks in a moment of both mourning and transition.
A shooting and arson at a Latter-day Saints meetinghouse in Michigan on October 28, 2025, killed four people and wounded eight more.
Additionally, President Nelson of the church passed away at age 101, and President Oaks, the longest-serving of the church’s top leaders, was announced as the new president.
This period of transition highlights the complexities and challenges faced by the church as it navigates its global presence and diverse membership.
No comment from the church officials.
