Mormon Church History: JFK - "The Mormons"In 1963, President John F. Kennedy visited Salt Lake to deliver a speech. In his speech, he referred often to "the Mormons", Mormon history & pioneers and the Mormon Church. Listen to parts of JFK's speech.
The Mormon pioneers that he describes were a central part of history that defined the Mormon Church.
In Utah, the Mormons blossomed and began to spread throughout the world. You can now find congregations of the Mormon Church in nearly every country and Mormons speaking nearly every language, but all in unity believing the teachings of Jesus Christ.
