Hello again, everyone! In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment during the Saturday Morning Session of the October 2019 General Conference, Brother Steven W. Owen, Young Men General President, with the approval of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, announced a slight adjustmentnto the curriculum that will be used for Aaronic Priesthood and Young Women beginning next year. Although the focus of study for the youth of the Church will continue to be gospel topics, the nature and scheduling of the topics that will be studied will now align with the "Come Follow Me" curriculum that will be used.
This means that in 2020, the gopsel topics studied by the youth on the second and fourth Sundays of each month will correspond with the personal, familial, seminary, and Sunday School study of the Book of Mormon. This adjustment will mark a continuing effort on the part of the Church to unify curriculum and study across all organizations. Although this is not necessarily breaking news, it is an intriguing development that makes a lot of sense. I continue to monitor developments that will be reported during this General Conference and will do my level best to bring word of those to you all here as I become aware of them.
That does it for now. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated, on any post at any time, as long as such comments are made in accordance with the established guidelines. Thank you for the privilege of your time. If you enjoyed what you read here and would like to stay informed of newly added content, please feel free to subscribe. Until my next post, I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in everything you do.

Slight Adjustment Made to Aaronic Priesthood and Young Women Curriculum
I have had a lifelong love for Church history, which has extended to ongoing reports of the ministry of our apostles and prophets, General Conference, and all temple developments. This blog enables me to share that love with all who read my thoughts on these developments, which are sometimes reported multiple times per day as needed.

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.

I COMPLETELY missed that, thank you for pointing it out!
ReplyDeleteNo problem, Brian. I likely would have missed it as well if I had not been skimming the Church news website and noted a story about it just before I mentioned it here. Thanks for taking time to comment.
