FOXNews.com – Top Stories – Illinois Officials Apologize to Mormons
Not only did we see Illinois House Resolution 0627 last week but the Governor of Illinois and others came to Utah to meet with church leaders today.
A delegation of Illinois officials apologized to leaders of the Mormon Church on Wednesday for the 1844 murder of the church’s founder and the expulsion of Mormons from Illinois.
James E. Faust, one of the church’s top leaders, said the resolution is a “message of respect and reconciliation” that will “long live in the hearts of this people.” Church President Gordon B. Hinckley, 93, did not attend the meeting because of the death of his wife on Tuesday.
