The speaker claims that the LDS membership possesses a strong desire for peacemaking but often lacks the specific skills necessary to practice it effectively.

“My sense is the Latter-day Saints much more now than than at any other previous point in my lifetime have a heart for peacemaking, but they don't always have the skills for it”

The speaker claims that peacemaking and bridgebuilding are essential activities for reducing polarization within the LDS community.

“We are committed to trying to build bridges and make peace and reduce polarization and that's who we are.”
