Church Organizations

Legacy is a radio program from the Mormon Channel that highlights remarkable stories from Church History. In January of 2010 they broadcast a program titled, "History of Disability Services". The program is an interview with Doug Hind and Brent Meisinger who worked with Disability Services at the Church Office Building and is a fascinating look into both the history and a glimpse into some of the current challenges of member with disabilities in the Church.
