Nelson’s frequent interactions with other religious leaders, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a longstanding tradition of respect and love for believers everywhere. As people around the globe celebrate World Interfaith Harmony Week (February 1–7, 2024), Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles says he is “convinced we can all live together peaceably as we love God and follow the ‘Golden Rule’ — treating others as we ourselves want to be treated.” Despite “misinformation, unfounded accusations, and societal divisions,” he adds, believers “can overcome such prejudice and ignorance with love and patience.” During World Interfaith Harmony Week, Elder Bednar invites people everywhere to act in a similar way: to learn more about and serve together with people of other faiths.
