Update on Seminar for New Mission Presidents

Hello. With a few additional reports posted earlier today, it seems that the Church News has posted summary articles of all but one address given at the Annnual Seminar for New Mission Presidents (that given jointly by the female auxiliary presidents. Click here for that summary article. How wonderful it was to read and reflect on the inspiration and insights which I, as one who will likely never have any high-profile calling of any kind, gained and received from these inspired words. Hope you all have enjoyed these summary posts. Thanks.

As a PS of sorts to this post, I did want to note that I found out just yesterday from someone who had regularly posted comments on my blog that he was still having issues making any comments. It is obvious I have yet to resolve this issue. I will keep you all posted on that and will hope that I can have it resolved as quickly and correctly as possible. I have greatly missed the feedback.  Thanks again.

Post a Comment

In addition to my life-long love for the subjects which I cover in the posts of this blog, I have long held the belief that we can disagree without becoming disagreeable. Differences of opinion are natural, while being disagreeable in expressing those differences is not. And in that sense, I have no desire to close the door on anyone who earnestly desires to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on subjects covered in the posts on this blog.

At the same time, however, I recognize that we live in a time when incivility, discourtesy, unkindness, and even cyber-bullying has regrettably become part of online interactions. With that in mind, while anyone who wishes can comment on anything if they choose to do so, I hereby reserve the right to immediately delete any comments which are critical, unkind, lack civility, or promote prodcuts, services, and values contrary to either the Church, or to the rules of online etiquette.

I'd also like to remind all who comment here that I try to respond personally to each individual comment as I feel is appropriate. Such replies are not meant to end the conversation, but to acknowledge earnest feedback as it is submitted.

And in order to better preserve the spirit and pure intentions for which this blog was established, I also hereby request that anyone not commenting with a regular user name (particularly those whose comments appear under the "Unknown" or "Anonymous" monikers, give the rest of us a name to work with in addressing any replies. If such individuals do not wish to disclose their actual given names, a pseudonym or nickname would suffice.

Any comments made by individuals who opt to not give a name by which they can ber identified may, depending on the substance and tone of such comments, be subject to deletion as well. I would respectfully ask that all of us do all we can to keep the dialogue positive, polite, and without malice or ill-will. May the Lord bless us all in our discussion of these important matters.
