"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.

What a wonderful legacy he left.
i can't stop thinking about how great he must be feeling now- back with marjorie, relieved of his duties as prophet. . .
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. :)
