Gordon B. Hinckley has passed away

January 28, 2008

I was reading a blog posting at By Common Consent last night, and someone posted a one-line comment that said President Hinckley had died. It seemed kind of random, but I went to the Salt Lake Tribune web site and there was nothing there. Deseret News wouldn’t load at all, so I figured something was up. I was finally able to confirm it on the KUTV web site. It is all over the news now, but here are a few good links:

• Beloved Church President, Gordon B. Hinckley, Dies at 97 - Official Church news release
• Mormon pioneer Gordon Hinckley dead at 97 - CNN article
• LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley dies - Salt Lake Tribune article by Peggy Fletcher Stack
• Gordon B. Hinckley, Mormon Leader, Is Dead at 97 - New York Times article
• President Gordon B. Hinckley Dies - Messenger and Advocate blog entry with a lot of other links
