Elder Uchtdorf gave a wonderful talk about unity on April 5, 2025, in General Conference. Here is a summary.
Elder Uchtdorf’s talk summary
A friend visiting a branch in Germany was impressed by the members’ love for each other.
When people experience the Church for the first time, they are likely to notice how they feel and how members treat each other. The Savior wants them to leave with stronger faith in Him. The love felt there will lift them closer to Jesus Christ.
The Lord invites His children to join His kingdom and anxiously engage in building it. To be of one heart, individuals must align their heart with the Savior.
One category comes before all others: child of God. Unity in the Church is not because of a common background but because of a common objective — being “one in Christ.”
Those who love God and want to know Him better and seek to keep the commandments are a perfect fit for the Church, which is one body. “All are needed in the body of Christ.”
For those who are not yet members of the Church, “we invite you to join us as we rejoice in the Savior’s ‘song of redeeming love.‘”
Church members’ love for God and His children is a powerful testimony to the world that this is the Savior’s Church.
