He has served in a number of positions in the church, including as an area seventy from 2006[9] to 2013.[10] Among other assignments while an area seventy, Kerr was president of the Church's first pageant done in Britain.[11] Member of Parliament for StirlingKerr signed a letter to the Prime Minister on 16 February 2018, making suggestions about the way Britain should leave the European Union.[12] In July 2018, Kerr unveiled replicas of the John Allan Stones at the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum. The stones were originally placed on Albany Crescent, a now-demolished row of houses near the Stirling City Centre. Although the original stones were taken to the United States by David O. McKay, who had seen them while serving as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, following the houses being knocked down, they remained a part of Stirling's history through their association with Stirling architect John Allan. The motto "What e're thou art, act well thy part" inscribed on the stones inspired McKay to continue his work as a missionary, and as such became known across the Church for their inspiring qualities. The originals can still be found in the church's Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah.[13] The replica stones were carved by Doune Stonemasons James Innes and Son.[14] Personal lifeKerr was born in Dundee in 1960 and was raised on a council estate in Forfar, Angus. He attended a local primary school and later, Forfar Academy. He left school at 16 to work as a bank junior. After returning from serving as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in London, he graduated from the University of Stirling with an honours degree in business. Kerr's career has largely been spent working in business, mainly in sales and marketing. His role immediately prior to his election involved heading the sales teams for Kimberly Clark in the UK, Ireland and France. He and his wife, Yvonne, were married in 1983 and they are the parents of four children. They have lived in Bridge of Allan since the 1980s.{{citation needed|date=December 2018}}[15] References1. ^{{London Gazette |issue=27885 |date=19 June 2017 |page=1077 |city=e}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.parliament.uk/biographies/commons/stephen-kerr/4604|title=Stephen Kerr MP|website=UK Parliament}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://brignews.com/2017/06/09/exclusive-stephen-kerr-reflects-victory-in-shock-general-election/|title=EXCLUSIVE: Stephen Kerr reflects on victory in shock general election | Brig Newspaper|date=25 April 2016|publisher=Brignews.com|accessdate=9 June 2017}} 4. ^{{Who's Who | surname = Kerr | othernames = Stephen| id = U289502| volume = 2018 | edition = February 2018 online | accessed = 13 February 2018 }} 5. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://kerrforstirling.uk/about|title=About Stephen|website=Kerr For Stirling 2017|language=en-US|access-date=1 August 2017}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=https://uk.linkedin.com/in/stephen-kerr-05512b1b|title=Stephen Kerr Linked In Page|last=|first=|date=|website=|access-date=}}{{dead link|date=June 2018|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} 7. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/politics/constituencies/S14000057|title=Stirling parliamentary constituency - Election 2017|work=BBC News|access-date=1 August 2017|language=en-GB}} 8. ^{{cite news|url=https://brignews.com/2017/06/09/exclusive-stephen-kerr-reflects-victory-in-shock-general-election/|title=EXCLUSIVE: Stephen Kerr reflects on victory in shock general election|last=McCurdy|first=Rebecca|date=9 June 2017|work=Brig Newspaper|accessdate=14 June 2018}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/635196410/The-newly-called-are-sustained.html|title=The newly called are sustained|date=2 April 2006|publisher=}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/new-general-authority-callings-releases-april-2013|title=New General Authority Callings and Releases Announced|date=6 April 2013|publisher=}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ksl.com/?sid=25004691|title=UK to host 'once in a lifetime' LDS pageant - KSL.com|publisher=}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/feb/20/tory-mps-sign-letter-to-theresa-may-outlining-hard-brexit-goals|title=Tory MPs' hard Brexit letter to May described as ransom note|first=Anushka|last=Asthana|date=20 February 2018|website=the Guardian}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.stirlingarchives.scot/2016/09/13/john-allan-architect-stirling-buildings-1893-1911/}} 14. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.stephenkerr.org/news/revealing-john-allan-stones/}} 15. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.stephenkerr.org/about-stephen-kerr}} External links
