The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has spent the past few weeks in a moment of both mourning and transition.
On October 28, 2025, a shooting and arson at a Latter-day Saints meetinghouse in Michigan killed four people and wounded eight more.
Additionally, President Nelson, the former president of the church, died the day before at age 101, and Oaks, the longest-serving of the church’s top leaders, was announced the new president on October.
