I was very excited that earlier this week, we were able to publish a page on From the Desk about Global Mormonism: Latter-day Saints Around the World. This is the culmination of years of effort to identify published histories about communities in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints outside of the historically prevalent Anglo-Americans in the Church, and to conduct interviews with the experts who wrote these histories. The page brings together key information from and links to those interviews while also sharing some additional information and links to many more resources on the global Church. We plan to continue to expand this content in the coming years and will update the page as we do so. Follow the link and check it out!

Appreciate this thank you. The Church outside the US is fascinating. There are so many great stories to tell.
Do you feel that this is a supplement to Saints Vol. 4, are there overlapping stories with it, or is it very different? There were some stories about church leaders in Vol 4, but most of the stories were from members who lived outside of the United States.
Thanks RL!
jader3rd, There is some overlap with the entire Saints series, often with more details and focus on specific subjects than in Saints (particularly volumes 2 and 3). That being said, so far, there isn’t actually a lot that overlaps with Saints 4, mostly as a result of where people are focused with the history.
