— LDS GENERAL CONFERENCE —

President Gordon B. Hinckley

President of the church


      When dealing with members of other churches, Latter-day Saints should not compromise on doctrine, but we can respect other religions and must do so.
      "Let us be true disciples of Christ, observing the Golden Rule, doing unto others as we would have them do unto us."
      Other religions should be recognized for the good they accomplish.
      "We can and do work with those of other religions in various undertakings in the everlasting fight against social evils which threaten the treasured values which are so important to all of us."
      There should also be a degree of fellowship as members labor with others.
      While some of the other faiths do not regard Latter-day Saints as Christians, "That is not important. How we regard ourselves is what is important. We acknowledge without hesitation that there are differences between us. Were this not so there would have been no need for a restoration of the gospel."
      Members should not become disagreeable when talking of doctrinal differences. There's no place for acrimony.
