The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: A Global Faith in Transition
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has recently experienced a period of mourning and transition.
On October 28, 2025, a tragic shooting and arson at a Latter-day Saints meetinghouse in Michigan resulted in the loss of four lives and injured eight more.
This incident occurred shortly after the passing of President Nelson, who died at the age of 101.
Following President Nelson's death, Oaks, the longest-serving of the church's top leaders, was announced as the new president on October 2025.
