Hello again, everyone! This will just be a very brief post from me. I am pleased to share that the Church has made the PDF versions of the November 2021 Church Magazines available. This will enable me to cover how my pdrojected version of the Liahona table of contents for Noember compared to the actual corresponding page numbers. I am also taking time to look at the list of magazine editors and advisers for each magazine to see what (if anything) has changed in that respect. This post will be updated with those details as I complete that analysis.
(The remaining content of this post was added just prior to noon on November 4): Having completed my analysis, it appears that, in some cases where the First Presidency talks have taken 3-4 pages each, they are now each taking about 2-3 pages, and that the shorter time each member of the Quorum of the Twelve is alloted means that most of them will have talks of 2-3 pages in length as well. It seems safe to assume that the Church will keep this format going forward. The corrected page numbers are listed on the document to which I linked above.
Additionally, I have done some analysis on the changes in magazine editors and advisers. The advisers listed for the Liahona and the Friend remain unchanged, and with Elder Adrian Ochoa now serving in the Mexico Area Presidency, the Church has called Elder Valeri V. Cordono to replace Elder Ochoa as an adviser to the "For the Strength of Youth" magazine. Looking ahead to next year, Elders Randy D. Funk and Walter F. Gonzalez are both set to observe their 70th birthdays during 2022, which will mean both will be granted emeritus status in the October 2022 General Conference.
So there will likely be a significant turnover of assignments next year. Among those turning 70 next year are one member each from the Africa Central (Joseph W. Sitati), Africa West (Larry S. Kacher), Africa South (Christoffel Golden), and Middle East/Africa North (Randy D. Funk), the current Church Historian and Recorder (LeGrand R. Curtis). It will be interesting to see what happens going forward in the next few months with those assignments.
In the meantime, that does it for now.
