CHURCH'S 2,000 STAKE CREATED
By John L. Hart, staff writer
As President Howard W. Hunter presided, the Church's milestone 2,000th stake was created here Dec. 11 in a spiritual outpouring that some members compared with those of Book of Mormon times.
The 2,000th stake is the Mexico City Mexico Contreras Stake, created in an area with a tradition of long, sustained growth.
The creation of the new stake marks a doubling in the number of stakes worldwide in just 15 years. In the past six years, about three stakes outside the United States have been created for every stake inside the United States.
Many of these stakes have been created in Mexico, where more members live than in any country other than the United States. Mexico received its 100th stake in 1989, and with the new one has 129. Membership in the country is approaching 700,000.
President Hunter's visit was particularly meaningful as he has taken part in other important Mexico stake creations in the past, including a division of the original stake in Mexico City in 1974, when he was a member of the Council of the Twelve. In 1975, in one historic week, he created 16 stakes in the Mexico City area, and in 1977 he created the Church's 800th stake in Veracruz, Mexico.
