“Because of Their Iniquity the Church Had Begun to Dwindle”

D. Kelly Ogden, Andrew C. Skinner

Elder Neal A. Maxwell “had once wondered how the society described in the Book of Mormon could change as rapidly as it did (‘thus had they become weak, because of their transgression, in the space of not many years’; Helaman 4:26), but now he understood: ‘Anybody who watched the sixties [the 1960s, with its hippies and its sexual revolution, etc.] understands how our society changed quickly.’”5
