To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This week General Conference Odyssey covers the Saturday afternoon session of October 1975. This past week, I listened to a session at the UN where one woman after another got up to demand the world pay attention to human rights; the poor, the women, the alternative lifestyles, etc. They conjoin worthy rights with radical […]
