Among many churches in the Latter Day Saint movement, the First Presidency is the highest presiding or governing body. Present-day denominations of the movement led by a First Presidency include the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Community of Christ, Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and the Righteous Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
George W. Bush (right) meets with the LDS Church First Presidency in August 2006 in the Church Administration Building. Seated clockwise are: Gordon B. Hinckley, President; Thomas S. Monson, First Counselor (obscured); James E. Faust, Second Counselor (obscured); and F. Michael Watson, then Secretary to the First Presidency. Since this picture was taken, Hinckley, Faust, and Monson have died and the First Presidency has been reorganized.
