As Disciples Of Christ, We Need To Feel Genuine Charity For One Another. As We Do, New Light Will Come Into Our Own Lives. This Charity Is Essential In Missionary Work, But We Must Never Allow Ourselves To Treat Our Neighbors Only As Potential Converts. We Have Had The Sad Experience Of Seeing Members Of The Church Who Attempted To Convert Their Neighbors And Friends And, When They Did Not Respond, Withdrew Their Friendship And Neighborliness. We Must Not Be So Anxious To Share The Gospel That We Become Insensitive To The Feelings Of Others.

Remember, Presidents And Bishops, That The Callings Of Your Associates Are Just As Divinely Inspired As Is Yours, And They Are Therefore Entitled To Inspiration In Their Specific Responsibilities. Lean Upon Them. Learn From Them. Love Them. Listen To Them.

The Lord Does Not Want Us To "miss Supper." In Fact, He Has A Great Feast Prepared For Those Who Return Clean And Pure Through The Door.

There Are Conversations Going On About The Church Constantly. Those Conversations Will Continue Whether Or Not We Choose To Participate In Them. But We Cannot Stand On The Sidelines While Others, Including Our Critics, Attempt To Define What Our Church Teaches... We Are Living In A World Saturated With All Kinds Of Voices. Perhaps Now, More Than Ever, We Have A Major Responsibility As Latter-day Saints To Define Ourselves, Instead Of Letting Others Define Us.

To Innovate Does Not Necessarily Mean To Expand; Very Often It Means To Simplify.
