“We see too much conflict, anger, and general incivility
around us. Fortunately, the current generation has not had a Third World War to
fight, nor have we experienced a global economic crash like the one in 1929
leading to a Great Depression. We are, however, facing a war that is not a
fight to crush our enemies but a conscription marshaling the children of God to
care more about each other and to help heal the wounds we find in a conflicted
world. The Great Depression we now face has less to do with the external loss
of our savings and more to do with the internal loss of our self-confidence,
with real deficits of faith and hope and charity all around us. But the
instruments we need to create a brighter day and grow an economy of genuine
goodness in society are abundantly provided for in the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
– Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
