Best Answer

Spencer W. (Woolley) Kimball was the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from December 1973 until his death on November 5, 1985.

President Kimball's ministry as an Apostle and as President of the Church was known for:

- denouncing prejudices and racism against Native Americans, blacks, and other non-whites (he spearheaded the Indian Placement Program and extended priesthood ordinations to black men)

- repentance of sin and patience for sinners (wrote the book Miracle of Forgiveness)

- expanding missionary work (said all young men are expected to go, built the current Missionary Training Center)

- temple building (the number of temples went from 15 to 37)

- controversy around the Equal Rights Amendment in the United States (while he said he "deplored" injustices against women, he believed that the ERA would not help women but promote a "unisex" society and increase homosexual activity. protests were held at many church events.)
