Top Mormon Games boost Salt Lake City image
President Gordon Hinckley told faithful at the 172nd semiannual General Conference that the Salt Lake City Olympics improved the church's image among non Mormons. Utahs dominant religion stayed low profile during the Games, avoiding proselytizing to about 120000 visitors who attended the Olympics. He said the Games were a great success, dispelling negative images as visitors arrived in large numbers and found unexpected positive aspects.
