Primary General President Cheryl C. Lant spoke BYU-Idaho Education Week about how the concept of gathering affects church members.
"From the early days of the restoration of the church," she said, "there has been a great day of gathering. ... This principle of 'gathering' is an eternal principle. We are bound by it just as were the early Saints."
Sister Lant said that the gathering of early LDS families occurred as they physically flocked to Zion in large numbers to build temples and receive ordinances. For modern-day Saints, however, gathering is no longer a physical phenomenon.
