The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Transition
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has spent the past few weeks in a moment of both mourning and transition.
A shooting and arson at a Latter-day Saints meetinghouse in Michigan killed four people and wounded eight more on October 28, 2025.
Additionally, President Nelson, the church's president, died at age 101, and Oaks, the longest-serving of the church’s top leaders, was announced as the new president on October 2025.
The church is now led by President Oaks, who inherits a global faith that is more diverse than many realize.
