Russia Passes Law Affecting Missionary Work
The Church recognizes a new law will take effect in Russia on July 20, 2016 that will have an impact on missionary work.
The Church will honor, sustain and obey the law. Missionaries will remain in Russia and will work within the requirements of these changes. The Church will further study and analyze the law and its impact as it goes into effect.
