Abstract

The article focuses on Russell M. Nelson, the oldest president in the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), who died at age 101 in Salt Lake City. Nelson, a former heart surgeon, led significant changes in the church, including easing some policies toward LGBT members while maintaining opposition to same-sex marriage, and emphasizing the use of the church’s full name to honor Jesus Christ. Serving as church president from 2018, he traveled extensively to visit global church communities and was known for his linguistic abilities. Nelson is remembered for his global ministry, increased temple construction, and efforts to reinforce members’ recognition of their divine worth.
