New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern had a meeting Monday with President Russell M. Nelson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Judging from coverage in the Deseret News and from the church, it doesn’t sound that different from previous Latter-day Saint leaders’ meet-and-greet opportunities with heads of state. Ardern received an embossed leather copy of the Book of Mormon, and a promise that the church will make donations to the two Christchurch mosques that were the targets of a gunman’s fatal spree two months ago that resulted in the deaths of 51 people.
