Speaking to world leaders gathered at the G20 Interfaith Forum in Brasília on Wednesday, August 21, 2024, Elder Ulisses Soares of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles emphasized the unique power of faith to bring people together, break down barriers and promote peace. The Brazil native drew on a metaphor from a New York Times writer.
