SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The 92-year-old L. Tom Perry, one of the highest-ranking leaders of the Mormon church, has returned home after he was hospitalized with breathing difficulties.
The church said Wednesday night that Perry has been released from the hospital, where he underwent tests.
Perry is the second-most senior member of the high-level Mormon governing body called the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Perry has been in the Quorum since 1974.
He spent his professional career as a vice president and treasurer in retail business. He's originally from Logan, Utah.
Perry spoke earlier this month at the faith's biannual conference in Salt Lake City. He said the religion would be a leading advocate for traditional families and speak out against "counterfeit and alternative lifestyles."
