“The culture of the gospel of Jesus Christ is not a Gentile
culture or a Judaic culture. It is not determined by the color of one’s skin or
where one lives. We rejoice in distinctive cultures. Our members and new
converts often come from diverse racial and cultural backgrounds. If we are to
follow President Nelson’s admonition to gather scattered Israel, we will find
we are as different as the Jews and Gentiles were in Paul’s time. Yet we can be
united in our love of and faith in Jesus Christ. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans
establishes the principle that we follow the culture and doctrine of the gospel
of Jesus Christ. It is the model for us even today. The ordinances of the
temple unite us in special ways and allow us to be one in every eternally
significant way.” - Elder Quentin L. Cook
