We are ready to move forward in a major way

“Now, my brothers and sisters, it seems clear to me, indeed, this impression weighs upon me–that the Church is at a point in its growth and maturity when we are at last ready to move forward in a major way. Some decisions have been made and others pending, which will clear the way, organizationally. But the basic decisions needed for us to move forward, as a people, must be made by the individual members of the Church. The major strides which must be made by the Church will follow upon the major strides to be made by us as individuals.
We have paused on some plateaus long enough. Let us resume our journey forward and upward. Let us quietly put an end to our reluctance to reach out to others–whether in our own families, wards, or neighborhoods. We have been diverted, at times, from fundamentals on which we must now focus in order to move forward as a person or as a people.
Seemingly small efforts in the life of each member could do so much to move the Church forward as never before”.

This is a quote from Pres. Spencer W Kimball, April 1979.
