About This Quote
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) was founded in 1830. Today, the distinctive doctrines and principles of the LDS Church continue to be a force for good in the world. The church’s teachings have been a great source of comfort and inspiration to millions throughout history. In fact, one of the most important lessons that all people need to learn is how to live a life that is pleasing to God.

The Mormon faith means learning from other traditions, but it also means being faithful to our own heritage.
