I don’t have a lot to say about the passing of President Hinckley. I thought he was a kind and charismatic man; a forward thinker and man unafraid of change. Unlike nearly every religious leader in the US, Hinckley really wasn’t a Leviticus-inspired, pulpit pounder, he was subtle and funny and genuine. I’ll miss this great man.

Interesting observation: President Hinckley was an unusually forward-thinking leader and not “Leviticus-inspired.” I hope his successors will follow suit.
