Popular Post FearlessFixxer Posted March 17, 2018 Popular Post Posted March 17, 2018 Multiple sources close to the matter have confirmed that the Mormon Church is replacing the Home and Visiting Teaching programs with a program called 'Ministering'. Participants will be referred to as 'Ministering Brothers' and 'Ministering Sisters'. I am not trying to create drama, I just thought this forum would like to know. Cheers 7
strappinglad Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 And here I just got used to the change from " Ward Teacher " to " Home Teacher " !!! 3
Popular Post Duncan Posted March 17, 2018 Popular Post Posted March 17, 2018 of course they did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we just finished our new routes and trying to figure out who's what and who can go into who's houses, "um, they have cats and so." or "I can't go be seen in public with them, they support the Calgary Flames" ugh 5
rpn Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 They've just changed the VTers program to encourage more ministering. I'm thinking the OP is behind the knowledge curve. 2

I'm thinking the OP is behind the knowledge curve. Incorrect. They introduced the word 'ministering' to the vernacular used in VT in Jan. They did not change the name of the program. This will be framed as a discontinuing and replacement of the current setup 2

Duncan Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 I don't think FF's rumour is anymore nuttier than others we've seen in the Church, if it happens it happens!

This is not a rumor. we have multiple sources and have reviewed internal memos that cannot be shared because they would compromise the sources.

If the only new thing is the name, then it’s not really accurate to say that the programs have been discontinued. Right now it sounds like they’ve just been renamed. 1
