84 year old Hinckley named Mormon Church leader
The senior apostle Orson B. Hinckley will become president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints after Howard W. Hunter's death. Hinckley, 84, known for broad historical knowledge and deep church service, has directed daily church affairs through prior leaders' illnesses and helped grow membership toward 9 million. He leads a church with more members overseas than in the United States and faces cross cultural challenges amid global expansion.
