Journalists, opinion leaders and members of the public seeking to understand terms often used by Mormons — such as Relief Society, Aaronic Priesthood, Stake President, Sacrament and Sealing — can find definitions of these and other terms on the ‘Topics and Background’ page of Pacific Mormon Newsroom.
For example, this is the topic for Relief Society:
The Relief Society is for women ages 18 and over whose purpose is to provide support for the temporal and spiritual needs of all women in the Church, as well as others who are in need. The Relief Society of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is one of the largest women’s organizations in the world.
In addition, Church positions on subjects such as abortion, polygamy, same-sex attraction, and political neutrality are briefly explained on the Topics and Background section of Pacific Mormon Newsroom.
