The Church and Asia
Article
(from an address given on April 17, 1971, before the missionaries of the Japan Central Mission at Osaka, Japan)
One day we hope to be able to turn the entire leadership of these Asian countries over to the people themselves and to have the Japanese people feel that they have some of their own culture in the presiding councils of the Church. These people will feel that this is not just a Utah church, it’s not just an American church—this is the Church of Jesus Christ in all the world.
