Elder James E. Faust Passes Away
By Trenton | August 17, 2007
Elder James E. Faust, Second Counselor in the First Presidency of the Church passed away on August 10, 2007. He was 87 years old. Elder Faust has become somewhat of an icon in my personal experience with the Church, having been in the First Presidency for almost as long as I can remember. It will certainly be strange not hearing his familiar voice come October.
Section134.com has found a fitting tribute to Elder Faust in the form of a speech given in 1992 in Ogden at a Pioneer Day celebration. Despite it’s age, the speech addresses topics that more germane today than they were in 1992. I’ve always said that the true leaders of the Church were ahead of their times. The speech is entitled “A New Civil Religion.”
