Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

In his Saturday afternoon speech given at the April General Conference, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland said, “Brothers and sisters, we see too much conflict, anger and general incivility around us. Fortunately, the current generation has not had a third World War to fight, nor have we experienced a global economic crash like the one in 1929, leading to a Great Depression. We are, however, facing a kind of third World War, marshaling the children of God to care more about each other and to help heal the wounds we find in a conflicted world.”

Elder Holland went on to declare, “The instruments we need to create a brighter day and grow an economy of genuine goodness in society are abundantly provided for in the gospel of Jesus Christ. We cannot afford—and this world cannot afford—our failure to put these gospel concepts and fortifying covenants to full use personally and publicly.”
