The Church News conducted a poll last year to determine which events and developments of the 1900s would be considered the top Church stories of the past century. During 1999, the Church News has featured the top 12 stories, according to the poll. Ballots containing 18 events or developments during the 1900s were mailed to 900 members of whom 442, or 49 percent, responded with their opinions.
