SALT LAKE CITY —
Mormon Church President Ezra Taft Benson remained in serious but stable condition Saturday as the church’s faithful met for their 160th semiannual General Conference.

Benson underwent surgery last month to remove blood clots from his brain and again last week for gastrointestinal bleeding.
