The Quorum of the Twelve sustains Gordon B. Hinckley as church president with Thomas S. Monson and James E. Faust as counselors, this is the longest period without an organized First Presidency since 1898. Hinckley is the first LDS president since Joseph Fielding Smith who has worked his entire adult life in church bureaucracy, church-controlled businesses, and headquarters administration.
