Elder Oaks, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' Quorum of the Twelve, officially welcomed Kirton McConkie to City Creek Center and offered a dedicatory prayer on the firm's new building at 50 E. South Temple.

"Lawyers and the legal profession have served humanity ably, responsibly and effectively throughout our lifetimes and for many generations before us," Elder Oaks told the lawyers gathered in the new office.

"The continuation of that service, which is essential to the children of God and the work of the Lord, depends on the conscientious performances of lawyers like you and law firms like Kirton McConkie," he said.

I wonder if this is Mormon Doctrine or just Speculation.

Sounds like false doctrine to me.

During the dedication ceremony, Elder Lance B. Wickman, emeritus general authority and general counsel for the LDS Church, praised Kirton McConkie for the work it has done for the church for nearly 17 years.

"It's not really the building we're dedicating," Elder Wickman said. "It's really us, in our devotion, in our service, giving the best that we have to give in our professional capacity, realizing that in doing so we are not just representing another client, but we are representing the church of Jesus Christ himself."

You forget, this law firm is the Lord's One True Law Firm. It is used pretty much only by the One True Cult. And now it has moved into the One True Mall. And Oaks gave the One True Order of Prayer to seal the deal.

Are you suggesting that there is some sort of issue with this that is not inline with the stated purposes of the church?

Let me remind you what the four-fold mission is.

1. Proclaim the Gospel
2. Redeem the Dead
3. Perfect the Saints
4. Care for the Poor and Needy

Like it or not, giving to and helping others is a basic tenet of our faith (see item 4 above).

There is no issue here.

And, for anyone who is interested, City Creek is doing remarkably well. It's exceeding expectations. I think that the complainers will soon be eating their words.

Parody has officially become redundant.

Hi, Simon. Welcome back.
