Mormons · Salt Lake CityAs he nears his 100th birthday, the oldest-ever president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has created a mixed legacy that some churchgoers say has made its global membership feel more included but has left LGBTQ+ and other minority members feeling unsupported. Russell M. Nelson, a 99-year-old retired heart surgeon turned faith leader, had a conservative track record in his previous position on the faith’s leadership panel, which led many to predict he wouldn’t make any significant changes as president. But religious scholars now say his six years in office have been anything but stagnant. “He’s shaken up the church in a lot of ways — changed everything from what happens every Sunday at regular worship services to the long-term trajectory of where the church is pointed,” said Matthew Bowman, a religion professor at Claremont Graduate Universities.See the Story
