Religion News Service columnist Jana Riess reflects on the dynamic presidency of LDS leader Russell Nelson, who recently died at age 101.

President Russell M. Nelson, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, passed away just after 10 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 27. He departed peacefully in his Salt Lake City home.
