LDS leader: Ethics key in globalization by Donald W. Meyers The Salt Lake Tribune

…Using the LDS Church’s worldwide growth as an example, Uchtdorf said tolerance is another guiding principle in an interconnected world. Not only does the church respect others’ religious beliefs, but also political diversity found in all communities. He said the church operates under various governments around the world, offering the gospel as a guiding star rather than a particular political belief.

- Dieter Uchtdorf, second counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
