At General Conference, Dallin H. Oaks says “gender is an essential characteristic' of identity and purpose, and that God has required the church “to oppose social and legal pressures to retreat from his doctrine of marriage between a man and a woman.”
“I have been to Ukraine and Russia many times. I love those lands, the people, and their languages. I weep and pray for all who are affected by this conflict,” Nelson said. “The church is doing all we can to help those who are suffering and struggling to survive. We invite everyone to continue to fast and pray for all the people being hurt by this calamity. Any war is a horrifying violation of everything the Lord Jesus Christ taught and stands for.
“We have seen examples of both positive and negative momentum,” he said. “We know followers of Jesus Christ who became converted and grew in their faith. But we also know of once-committed believers who fell away. Momentum can swing either way. We have never needed positive spiritual momentum more than we do now, to counteract the speed with which evil and the darker signs of the times are intensifying.

As you do so, I promise personal peace and a burst of spiritual momentum.” General authority Seventy Hugo E. Martinez speaks at General Conference on Sunday, April 3, 2022.

Rasband spoke passionately about what he said was “another scourge sweeping the globe — attacks on your and my religious freedom.” The good of religion, “its reach, and the daily acts of love,” Rasband said, “which religion inspires, only multiply when we protect the freedom to express and act on core beliefs.” General authority Seventy Michael T. Ringwood speaks at General Conference on Sunday, April 3, 2022.“This he did because he loves us and designed a plan for each of us to return home to him,” said general authority Seventy Michael T. Ringwood. “….But this is not a blanket, catch-all, hit-and-miss sort of plan.
• “There are hundreds of invitations we can extend to others,” he said. “As we invite others to learn more about the gospel of Jesus Christ, we take part in the Savior’s call to engage in the work of his commission.” Amy A. Wright, second counselor and soon-to-be first counselor in the Primary general presidency, speaks at General Conference on Sunday, April 3, 2022.
Everyone has something in their life “that is broken that needs to be mended, fixed or healed,” Wright said. “...I testify that there is nothing in your life that is broken that is beyond the curative, redeeming and enabling power of Jesus Christ.” Apostle D. Todd Christofferson speaks at General Conference on Sunday, April 3, 2022.
