Resource: Moffat Lecture

Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka Aina I Ka Pono: A Global Paradigm. Riley M. Moffatt
1996 David O. McKay Lecture at BYU Hawaii

An excerpt:

Our Father in Heaven created a world for his spirit children to come to that they may prove themselves through their obedience. He saw to it that this Earth had "enough and to spare" for His children to use if they were wise stewards. We have demonstrated that we are quite capable of fouling our nest and rendering places virtually uninhabitable if we act unwisely. Our challenge in these latter days when there are ever growing populations and pressures on limited natural resources is to learn how to plan and act wisely that we may truly preserve the life of the land in righteousness as Kauikeaouli hoped.
