Independence, Missouri, to serve as World Church Secretary, effective October 1,

author of fiction and poetry. He has previously served the church as an
administrative assistant in the office of the Council of Twelve.
“We are pleased to have someone of Andrew’s talent and commitment to serve as
World Church Secretary,” said President Stephen M. Veazey. “He has been a highly
valued staff member in the Council of Twelve, and we look forward to his service
in our office.”
His predecessor, A. Bruce Lindgren, has elected to accept an early retirement

period of transition. THE FIRST PRESIDENCY
