"He highlighted Mormon commonality with other Christians, forging alliances with other faith groups while scolding LDS Church members for being too clannish, self-righteous and unfriendly to their neighbors.

'This church has grown into a great worldwide organization affecting for good the lives of people in more than 140 nations,' Hinckley told The New York Times in 1995.

'You can't, you don't, build out of pessimism or cynicism. You look with optimism, work with faith, and things happen.'"

What a wonderful legacy he left.

I am so sad he's gone but I also feel so incredibly happy for him. He's young and with his sweetheart...hooray for him. :)

Great quote barbaraca. That is my favorite thing about him - he told us how to be real Christians not just Mormons. I can truly say I loved him and the legacy he left.
