Declaration of the Living Christ

A Declaration of the Living Christ

“I do not wish to give offense to any of my Christian colleagues who use the cross on the steeples of their cathedrals and at the altars of their chapels, who wear it on their vestments, and imprint it on their books and other literature. But for us, the cross is the symbol of the dying Christ, while our message is a declaration of the Living Christ. …

“… The lives of our people must become the most meaningful expression of our faith and, in fact, therefore, the symbol of our worship.”

President Gordon B. Hinckley (1910–2008), “The Symbol of Our Faith,”Liahona and Ensign, April 2005, 3.
