The Dynamic Properties of the Church
Change is good. In the face of constant change, failure to adapt is failure. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints embraces this principle whole-heartedly. If Mormon pioneers looked in on today's Church as an entity, I think they would have difficulty identifying it as the future of their religion. However, if they take a closer look, they would find that the core principles have not changed a single bit. This is what I admire about the Church. Mormons are able to take new technology and use it to their advantage, while many religions think that in order to preserve their religion, they can't accept any new change. Change in religion is beneficial as long as you hold strong to your core religious values.

Identifying the core things that shouldn't change is the real challenge to adapting.
