LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley Funeral - 1 of 9

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Zsvml57PE is a video describing how to learn more about the Mormon Church.

On February 2, 2008, millions of people around the world mourned the death of President Gordon B. Hinckley of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).

Speaking of his long-time "cherished friend and colleague" and fellow Church leader, President Thomas S. Monson paid tribute to Gordon B. Hinckley Saturday as a "giant among men."

Quoting an unnamed poet, President Monson said: "'Here and there, and now and then, God makes a giant among men.' President Hinckley was such a giant -- a giant of knowledge, of faith, of testimony, of compassion, of vision."

It's funny how Tom Monson pretends to be choked up before starting the funeral. When really he is so glad to be running things.

-yes, usually 12 wards

- usually, but not always true, there is one temple per 12 stakes. But there is a church for one or two wards usually.

-yes

-this is just a conference center, not a temple. 22,000.

Going to the Church website will furnish you with more information. lds . org

A few questions:

-a stake consists of wards?

-is there one temple per stake?

-I take it the Quorum of the 70 is seated behind the 12?

-how many does this Temple seat?
