New Leadership in the Quorum of Apostles
Elder Gérald Caussé made headlines recently as he was named the newest member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. This significant appointment follows the passing of President Russell M. Nelson, a moment of profound change within the Church leaders on November 6, 2025. As members of this Quorum serve as special witnesses of Jesus Christ, Elder Caussé’s leadership is certain to resonate globally.
A Journey from Bordeaux to Leadership
Born in Bordeaux, France, on May 20, 1963, Elder Caussé carries a rich heritage and extensive experience within the Church. He ascended from the Presiding Bishop position, where over a decade he significantly managed humanitarian efforts, welfare programs, and more. His leadership saw a staggering 60% increase in humanitarian aid between 2020 and 2024, reinforcing his commitment to service.
His appointment not only represents a personal achievement but also reflects the growing global diversity in Church leadership, now including voices from France, Germany, England, and Brazil.
A Testimony of Faith and Service
In his remarks upon his appointment, Elder Caussé expressed deep gratitude for his faith, which has been a guiding light throughout his life. "I’ve always had a testimony of Jesus Christ... What a wonderful thing it is to be a witness of Christ," he said, emphasizing his focus on hope and compassion in his ministry. His heartfelt connection to service is also evident through his consistent encouragement for Church members to engage in humanitarian work and community service.
Impacting the Future Generation
Part of Elder Caussé’s ministry is addressing the needs of younger Latter-day Saints. He recently told young adults that participation in the Church's activities is crucial, not despite their unique backgrounds but because of them. His passion for environmental stewardship is also part of his vision for the Church’s future, demonstrating that caring for the earth is a sacred responsibility.
