“It’s difficult, if not impossible, to remember who you are, until you know who you are,” said Elder Kyle S. McKay, who has begun his service as the 16th Church Historian and Recorder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, effective August 1, 2022.
“The history, the things that we do help us know and remember who we are. In fact, that’s one of the commandments God has given us, is to remember,” said Elder McKay.
Elder McKay, a former attorney, has been serving as the assistant executive director of the Church History Department for the past three years under the leadership of Elder LeGrand R.
