Another white, highly educated, blah, blah, blah....I think the church does itself a disservice by going to the same barrel. I'm sure Elder Andersen is a great person and highly qualified, but if our church truly is international, why does the leadership primarily come from Idaho and Utah? 11 come from Idaho and Utah and 14 of the 15 were educated in the beehive state.

This got me thinking, if Joseph Smith was the prophet today, do you think he'd call essentially the same person over and over to the quorum?

I think he'd spice it up a bit, add a black dude, a latino, maybe even an inactive.
