Callings in the Church
“The Weak and the Simple of the Church,” Ensign, Nov. 2007, 6-7; “Everything that is done in the Church–the leading, the teaching, the calling, the ordaining, the praying, the singing, the preparation of the sacrament, the counseling, and everything else–is done by ordinary members, the ‘weak things of the world.’
“We see in the Christian churches their struggle to fill the need for clergy. We do not have that problem. Once the gospel is preached and the Church is organized, there is an inexhaustible supply of faithful brothers and sisters who have that testimony and are willing to answer the call to serve. They commit themselves to the work of the Lord and live the standards required of them.” – Boyd K. Packer
