POTENTIAL BREAKING NEWS: Parameters Confirmed for the April 2023 General Conference?

Hello again, everyone! I have some potential breaking news to pass along to you all here. In my newest comment on the threads of the previous post, I mentioned that on this second Friday in February, the parameters had not yet been announced for the April 2023 General Conference. Directly after that, on a hunch, I checked the Newsroom, and found some information on the Events page. That information shows that 5 two-hour general sessions for the Church and for friends of other faiths will be held on April 1 and 2, including a general Saturday Evening Session.

As some of you might also be aware, in April and October of last year, the Saturday Evening Sessions featured 5 speakers due to the sessions being 1.5 hours. If the Newsroom page is correct, with an extra half-hour for Saturday Evening, 2-3 others could be called upon to speak in addition to the traditional 5. I don't know how soon we will see an official letter released on this. In the absence of that, my inclination is to await official confirmation before stating specifically that the Saturday Evening Session will be 2 hours.

I will continue to monitor this update, all other reports from the Newsroom and the Church News, and all temple construction updates, and will be sure to bring you all word thereof as it crosses my radar.

In the meantime, that does it for now. All comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated on any post at any time, as long as the offered feedback is made per the established guidelines.
