The video portion of Secretary Almen's report included clips of him (shown on screen) from his report from the 1991 Churchwide Assembly, also held at the Orlando World Center.
"We are one church," Secretary Almen reminded. With a video clip from his 1991 report behind him, Almen related again how, just as with swimming, many parts do make one cohesive whole.
