Serving Others
Community Service
All citizens have the opportunity and obligation to be involved in worthy causes in their communities. Latter-day Saints are encouraged to be good citizens by participating in government and seeking ways to assist and strengthen their community. When people give support to initiatives that strengthen society morally, economically, and culturally, they help to assure that their communities will be wholesome places in which to live.
"As Church members, we live under the banner of many different flags. How important it is that we understand our place and our position in the lands in which we live! We should be familiar with the history, heritage, and laws of the lands that govern us. In those countries that allow us the right to participate in the affairs of government, we should use our free agency and be actively engaged in supporting and defending the principles of truth, right, and freedom" (L. Tom Perry, Ensign, Nov. 1987, 72).
