Highlights from the 187th Annual General Conference

Every six months we gather to hear the word of God through living prophets and inspired Church leaders. Millions around the world gather together in homes or in chapels, in different time zones and languages, using a variety of different-sized screens.

But general conference is more than an event. It’s an experience that can last for as long as we want. Conference is something we study, learn from, and live by.

To assist you in your conference experience, we try to capture the spirit of the event in this issue every six months. Whether you prefer studying conference in print, online, or on mobile, we hope it’s a well you will return to often.
