• Humanitarian Service


• "Our Heavenly Father's Plan"


• New e-store

• And so on, and so on...

The team was up all night against harrowing opposition and went live at 5:00am or so. Conference, magazines and manuals go back to 2002 or so, but we'll be loading more content each day, eventually reaching back to the 1970's. We will have Spanish and German versions available before October conference.

We're finding and fixing bugs so please give us feedback.

Enjoy! (And spread the word...)

Washington Post article on the global LDS Church

Recently, Washington Post London burea chief Mary Jordan published this article on the expanding global nature of the Church.

It's a great article. It names the Internet as one of the tools that is allowing the Church to reach people who wouldn't have heard about the Church before.

We occasionally post links to articles like this on newsroom.
