Steven E. Snow appointed new church historian

Elder Steven E. Snow, who has served as a member of the presidency since 2007, has been appointed Church historian and recorder, succeeding Elder Marlin K. Jensen, who will receive emeritus status at the October 2012 general conference. The First Presidency explained that the change was effective immediately in order to enable these Brethren to “begin working together for several months in order to effect a smooth transition in directing Church history matters.”
