Russell M. Nelson

Russell M. Nelson was laid to rest in a private graveside service following a remembrance and celebration of his life at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' conference center in Salt Lake City.

El presidente del Cuórum de los Doce Apóstoles, Dallin H. Oaks, se espera que se convierta en el próximo líder de la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días tras la muerte del presidente Russell M. Nelson.

Nelson fue la persona de mayor edad que ha liderado la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días. Se le recuerda como un hombre de ciencia cuya presidencia estuvo marcada por el crecimiento y el cambio dentro de la iglesia.

The president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Dallin H. Oaks, is expected to become the next leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints after the death of President Russell M. Nelson.

Nelson was the oldest person to have led the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is remembered as a man of science whose presidency was marked by church growth and change.

“Age, wisdom and spiritual authority go together," says one leadership expert as Nelson hits the century mark. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints plans a special broadcast to commemorate the occasion on Sept. 9, 2024, at 4 p.m. MT.

Nelson is nearing his 100th birthday and delivered pre-recorded closing remarks Sunday at the twice-annual Salt Lake City conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Religious scholars say his tenure has been anything but stagnant.

Patrick Kearon was called to be the newest member of the second-highest governing body of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He’s British and a convert to the faith.

Russell Nelson's remarks were the first from a senior church leader on abuse since The Associated Press published an investigation into how the church handles reports of sexual abuse. He spoke at the church's twice-yearly conference that leaders use to reflect on current events and announce changes in doctrine.
