JULY 2002 3 Saturday Morning Session 6 April 2002 The Church Goes Forward President Gordon B. Hinckley No other church to come out of the soil of America has grown so fast nor spread so widely. It is a phenomenon without precedent. beyond belief have been their labors. But out of all of this fiery crucible has come something glorious. Today we stand on the summit of the years and look about us. From the original six members has grown a vast family of worshipers, 11 million-plus strong. From that quiet village has grown a movement that today is scattered through some 160 nations of the earth.
