D. Todd Christofferson

D. Todd Christofferson fascinates me as someone who pivoted from law to a life of religious leadership, a swing in vocation that says a lot about conviction. Raised in Utah and New Jersey and educated at Brigham Young University and Duke, he rose through the LDS Church to serve in the Quorum of the Twelve and now as a counselor in the First Presidency. I am drawn to the rare ability to move between the cold logic of legal reasoning and the language of faith. I am no believer, but devoting half a lifetime to guiding others commands real respect.
