Yes, Its True, But IDont Think They Like to Hear it Quite That Way: What Spencer W. Kimball Told Elaine Cannon

by Duane Boyce

Overview

Abstract: Elaine Cannon, who was general president of the Young Women some four decades ago, had an interesting conversation with President Spencer W. Kimball in 1978. According to Sister Cannon's firsthand account, President Kimball revealed important insight into how he thought about himself as the prophet as well as how he thought leaders should talk to the general membership about that topic. Sister Cannon's report is thus a valuable part of the historical record regarding both Spencer W. Kimball and prophets generally.
