Elder Bednar Speaks at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

Elder Bednar Tells the National Press Club About the Church of Jesus Christ. The Apostle says the Church does what it does because ‘we love [Jesus Christ] and want to follow His example in our lives.’ Elder Bednar — the first to address this group since Church President Gordon B. Hinckley did so in 2000 — detailed the what and the why of the Church of Jesus Christ’s global humanitarian, welfare, educational, temple, missionary and genealogical initiatives.
