General Conference Speculation

I speculate that we will see an elevation of our use of the revealed name of the restored Church; recognition of major events of the ongoing Restoration to celebrate our history and future; and means to become even more “converted unto the Lord” and invite all to come and find enduring joy on His covenant path.”

An unmemorable GC forces us to rewatch it often. Clever!

I expect to hear some talks addressing some of the big stories going on in the news. 

The news of longest lasting impact is political & is having a tremendous impact on US Saints. I predict it will not be directly addressed.

 I imagine we'll have a talk or two addressing racism.

Addressing it in a way that meaningfully reflects the reality of Black Saints in the US would be interesting. I'd welcome that.

Maybe all the rioting will be addressed.  

But not the protests? That would be some Super-Duper level dog whistling. Pretty much an open declaration of political alliance.

Phew.  I'm ok with that since postmodern style was a reaction to mid century modern.  I've really started to like mid century modern lately and wouldn't be happy with cautions against it.  😀

Family proclamation is canonized.

i expect many talks on it since it’s 25th anniversary 

I think you are right.  This will start a trend of the church canonizing legal amicus briefs developed by lawyers as doctrine.

Good. I hope we canonize tree law next.

I read through the thread on General Conference rumors.  Apparently there isn't anything too exiting being rumored.  But what about speculation?  What kinds of topics do we anticipate the GA's will address?  I expect to hear some talks addressing some of the big stories going on in the news.  Probably more COVID-19 stuff.   I imagine we'll have a talk or two addressing racism.  Maybe all the rioting will be addressed.  

As far as big announcements, I really don't see them making any.

looks like you nailed it!

I'm thinking we'll hear updates on:

- 7 years of plenty, 7 years of famine (timing is tricky on tehis one due to 9/11, the Great Recession, etc.) but the principle of preparing and being firm in the faith when trials come is good to be reminded of

 

- The importance of remaining loyal to one' govt even if/when you disagree with some of thier actions, citing the article of faith about that. Following democratic procedures for bringing about change (looking in your direction, President Oaks :) )

 

Preparation from Elder Bednar and the 7 year quote form the presiding bishopric. Then spot on call with Elder Oaks
