Gordon Monson shares 18 things The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints absolutely nails at GeneralConference and things it could do to punch them up, to make them more memorable for the fervent and those barely hanging on.
, perhaps the most beloved living Black Latter-day Saint, to be heard from the conference pulpit? The speakers wouldn’t have to be anyone famous or noteworthy, of course, just regular folks who have compelling stories to tell. That would be enlightening, inspiring and just plain cool. And the global audience would provide more exposure than, say, a church fireside.
6. Speaking of cool, conference speakers are remarkably composed, especially given the task at hand and the vastness of the viewership. They rarely look or sound nervous. 10. Ease off so much quoting of one another in talks. Church leaders seem to quote current prophets and apostles more than they do biblical ones. It tends to come across as lower-ranking authorities not just acquiescing to the big dogs but also lathering them up with deference. Quote the Son of Man more and the son of a man sitting next to you less.
13. Allow speakers to show more personality. I’ve known a handful of these leaders through the years, and they’re much less button-down than they often come across at conference. They are not spiritual machines, not automatons. Rather, they are interesting people with interesting perspectives who normally do not talk the way they do from the pulpit. They need not speak the same, use the same tone and cadence, the same terminology, the same phrases. Let leaders be what they are — humans.
