This stub is still here and as I mentioned, I will write an article once I get some time. In the meantime, anyone want to give it a go? RelHistBuff 20:19, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I wrote something short from official sources to move this out of stub status to avoid potentially getting another AfD notice. I would like to eventually add more especially in regards to changes in the church (doctrinal, governance, and infrastructure) during his tenure, but I would like to keep with the wiki policy of being careful and checking the sources. I've put the biography template at the top of this page as a note to all editors. Please discuss changes here before making major changes to the article. RelHistBuff 21:47, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
