    A Glimpse at Messages from Latter-day Saint Leaders to People Everywhere

    Newspaper provides quotes and links to summaries of their counsel and advice

    Have you ever wondered what counsel leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are giving their members and all people in the world at the twice-yearly general conference of the Church?

                 

    Messages conveyed during the six 2-hour conference sessions are likened to modern day scripture by members. Those who speak include the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, special witnesses of Jesus Christ.

    Conference proceedings, just concluded at Church Headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, are sent by satellite transmission throughout the world to Mormon meetinghouses and broadcast via internet, TV and radio, so anyone interested can join in.

    All proceedings of the recent and past conferences can be viewed or read at LDS.org. Selected quotes and summaries of messages from each presenter provided by the Desert News can be found here, with samples of quotes below.
