First Presidency Portrait

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has released the official portrait of the new First Presidency.

The members of the First Presidency, President Thomas S. Monson, President Henry B. Eyring, and President Dieter F. Uchtdorf have been in their current leadership positions since 3 February, 2008.

The First Presidency was reorganized following the death of the Church's 15th president Gordon B. Hinckley, who passed away on 27 January, 2008.

President Monson is the 16th worldwide leader of the Church.

President Eyring serves as first counselor to President Monson and previously served as second counselor in the First Presidency. President Uchtdorf was a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles prior to becoming second counselor in the First Presidency.

The First Presidency is the most senior governing body in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The photograph is downloadable @ lds.org
