He served an LDS mission in Independence, Missouri from 1914 to 1916, then worked for various banks in Arizona's Gila Valley as a clerk and bank teller. Kimball later co-founded a business, selling bonds and insurance that, after weathering the Great Depression, became highly successful. Kimball served as a stake president in his hometown from 1938 until 1943, when he was called to serve as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Like most other LDS Church apostles, Kimball traveled extensively to fulfill a wide variety of administrative and ecclesiastical duties. Early in his time as an apostle, Kimball was directed by church president George Albert Smith to spend extra time in religious and humanitarian work with Native Americans, which Kimball did throughout his life. He initiated the Indian Placement Program, which helped many Native American students gain education in the 1960s and 1970s while they stayed with LDS foster families. In late 1973, following the sudden death of church president Harold B. Lee, Kimball became the twelfth president of the LDS Church, a position he held until his death in 1985. Kimball's presidency was noted for the 1978 announcement ending the restriction on church members of black African descent being ordained to the priesthood or receiving temple ordinances. Kimball's presidency saw large growth in the LDS Church, both in terms of membership and the number of temples. Kimball was the first church president to state publicly that the church expects all able-bodied male members to serve missions in young adulthood, resulting in an increase in missionary service.

  • Спенсер Улли Кимбалл — религиозный лидер, двенадцатый президент Церкви Иисуса Христа Святых последних дней. Будучи внуком одного из ранних апостолов Церкви, Кимбалл родился в Солт-Лейк-Сити, Территория Юта. Первые годы жизни он провёл в Тэтчер, Аризона, где его отец был фермером и служил президентом кола. С 1914 по 1916, Спенсер У. Кимбалл служил на миссии в Швейцарии и Германии, потом он работал клерком и кассиром в разных банках Аризоны. Позже, Кимбалл стал сооснователем бизнеса по продаже облигаций и их страховке. C 1938 по 1943, он служил президентом кола в родном городе. Кимбалл, в свою бытность апостолом, как и многие другие апостолы Церкви, много путешествовал, выполняя широкий спектр административных и церковных обязанностей. На первых порах службы апостолом, он был направлен церковным пророком Джорджем Альбертом Смитом к индейцам, для которых в последующие годы Кимбалл организовал программу по получению образования. (ru)
  • Spencer Woolley Kimball, född 28 mars 1895, död 5 november 1985, var den tolfte presidenten för Jesu Kristi Kyrka av Sista Dagars Heliga, ett ämbete han innehade från 1973 till sin död. Kimballs farfar, Heber C. Kimball, var en av kyrkans tolv ursprungliga apostlar och senare rådgivare i första presidentskapet åt Brigham Young. Kimballs far var Andrew Kimball och hans mor Olive Woolley, syster till John W. Woolley, en tidig ledare inom den fundamentalistiska mormonrörelsen. Kimball föddes i Salt Lake City men växte upp i Arizona dit familjen flyttade när han var tre år. Efter att ha gått ut high school var han missionär i Missouri. Han återvände till Arizona och gifte sig med Camilla Eyring 1917. Paret fick så småningom fyra barn. Kort efter deras giftermål började han arbeta på en bank men så småningom startade han eget företag. Efter att länge ha varit engagerad inom kyrkan blev han kallad att bli medlem i de tolv apostlarnas kvorum 1943. Han sålde då sitt företag och flyttade till Salt Lake City och blev apostelvigd av kyrkans president Heber J. Grant i oktober det året. En av Kimballs arbetsuppgifter var att arbeta med ursprungsbefolkningen. Dessa hade dålig tillgång till utbildning och Kimball utvecklade "Indian Student Placement Program" som gav indianer möjlighet till skolgång medan de bodde hos värdfamiljer. 1948 drabbades han av en hjärtattack och senare även av strupcancer som ledde till att delar av hans stämband måste opereras bort. Efter att hjärtproblemen återkommit genomgick han en hjärtoperation 1972. I december året därpå blev han kyrkans president efter Harold B. Lees död. Det var under Spencer W Kimballs presidentskap som mormonkyrkan för första gången gjorde det möjligt för färgade att ordineras till präster, detta enligt "Official Declaration—2" från 1978. Kimball kom att vara president för kyrkan i över ett decennium, men hans hälsa blev svagare och under 1980-talet tog hans rådgivare Gordon B. Hinckley över en del av hans sysslor. Kimball dog i Salt Lake City den 5 november 1985 och efterträddes som kyrkans president av Ezra Taft Benson. 1969 publicerade Kimball boken Miracle of Forgiveness. (sv)

  • President Kimball breathlessly began, "I am a dying man. I can feel my life slipping. At the present rate of deterioration I believe that I can live only about two more months. Now I would like my doctor to present his views." Dr. Wilkinson then reaffirmed President Kimball’s feelings, concluding that recovery would be unlikely and death would ensue in the not-too-distant future. Then President Kimball called on me as a cardiac surgeon and asked, "What can surgery offer?" I indicated that an operation, if it were to be done, would consist of two components. First, an aortic valve replacement would be required. Second, an important coronary artery with a blockage should be treated with a bypass graft. President Harold B. Lee of the First Presidency then asked the crucial question, "What would be the risks with such a procedure?" "I don't know," I replied. "In a man aged seventy-seven, the risk of either of these operations is significant. But to do both on one whose heart is failing would entail risk so high that the operation cannot be recommended as a safe one." As a weary President Kimball responded, "I am an old man and ready to die," President Lee interrupted. He rose to his feet, pounded his fist to the desk, and said, with his prophetic power, "Spencer, you have been called! You are not to die! You are to do everything you need to do to care for yourself and continue to live." President Kimball replied, "Then I will have the operation." (en)
  • My beloved brothers and sisters, this is a great experience for me. I have waited for this day and hoped for it and believed for it. I have a great love for the people of this Church, and gratitude for the love expressed by them and by all the people of these valleys. So as I express that love for you and for the memory of the great experiences I've had with you, I bear my testimony: this work is divine, the Lord is at the helm, the Church is true, and all is well. God bless you, brothers and sisters, I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen. (en)
