More than 7,000 members of the Church attended the Independence Missouri Regional Conference May 12 in the Municipal Auditorium. The gathering of Latter-day Saints was perhaps as large or larger than gatherings here in the 1830s when the Church was headquartered briefly in Independence.
Members came from the Kansas City, Mo., metropolitan area and from Topeka, Kan. Speakers included President Howard W. Hunter of the Council of the Twelve, Elder Boyd K. Packer of the Council of the Twelve and Elder Graham W. Doxey of the Seventy.
