To Be True Disciples

President Gordon B. Hinckley

"I am told that racial slurs and denigrating remarks are sometimes heard among us. I remind you that no [one] who makes disparaging remarks concerning those of another race can consider himself a true disciple of Christ. Nor can he consider himself to be in harmony with the teachings of the Church of Christ. …

"We are members of the Church of our Lord. We have an obligation to Him as well as to ourselves and others."

President Gordon B. Hinckley (1910–2008), "The Need for Greater Kindness," Liahona and Ensign, May 2006, 58, 60.
