In New York, Elder Christofferson Praises People of Faith for Their Leavening Influence

In New York City, Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints spoke at a charity event and emphasized the many contributions that religious individuals make to the communities in which they live.
The global faith leader shared his remarks as part of the New York Latter-day Saint Professional Association’s annual banquet program on February 27, 2020, at the Riverside Church in Manhattan.
Each year, the charitable event presents a Visionary Leadership Award to a local member of the community who embodies moral and ethical qualities.
This year, the alumni group nominated Mariano Rivera, a former New York Yankees baseball player and 2019 Baseball Hall of Fame inductee, as the recipient of its leadership award.

I love this. It's not about how much money you make, it's about what your intentions are with the amount of power that comes with having money; and Mariano Rivera is doing tremendous things 👏

If we each do something that can bless someone else somewhere in the world, so that they might be a little closer to God than before, we are being His helping hands in helping to gather the house of Israel to Him.

I didn't know this about Rivera. Very cool and appropriate that Rivera was honored at Riverside.
