Our beloved prophet President Gordon B. Hinckley passed away last night at 7 PM. Since then, we’ve seen a flood of online interest in him, his successor Thomas S. Monson, how leadership and priesthood succession works in the Church, who current members of the Twelve are, and many other questions.

In the coming days, members of the Church have a great opportunity to answer these questions. If you have a blog, it would be helpful to write something on what President Hinckley’s service meant to you, your thoughts on President Monson, your understanding of how priesthood succession works, and related topics. It would also be helpful if you link to additional information like these:

Gordon B. Hinckley (Mormonwiki.com)
Gordon B. Hinckley (Lightplanet.com)
Thomas S. Monson (newsroom.lds.org)
Thomas S. Monson (Mormonwiki.com)
Thomas S. Monson (Lightplanet.com)

You might also participate in forums like Yahoo Answers or our own LDS.net.

If you have a Web cam or digital camera, you might record your thoughts on President Hinckley and post it to YouTube.
