This is religious in nature, but I still think it's frontroom material, and I hope this thread can maintain a frontroomish courtesy.
Gordon B. Hinckley, the 15th president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (or in layman's terms, the 15th Mormon prophet), died yesterday at age 97. He has led the Mormon church for the past 12 years as prophet and was responsible for most of its administration for another 14 years before that.
He was a man of remarkable optimism and energy, who kept his wits and his sense of humor to the end of his life. He has helped expand Mormonism worldwide, driving away much of the mystery and misunderstanding associated with it, has established the church as a major world humanitarian organization, and has been a source of joy and comfort to millions within the Mormon faith.
RIP
