General Conference...yesterday and today I have been a witness to a historical event. This event, General Conference, is completely unique to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Every six months all the members of the church gather in meetinghouses, homes, and the church Conference Center in Salt Lake City to hear from our prophet and apostles. The meeting, held in the humungous Conference center, which seats something like 12,000, is broadcast over the internet, satellite and cable tv and the radio to most of the world. To those it does not reach in this manner, all the talks of the 5 sessions are printed in church magazines. As far as I know, no other church has its leaders communicate to the entire congregation in this manner. And hearing from the prophet is simply a miracle. Never in the history of the world has there been a time that the church has expanded to all the world. Always the church has been found in isolated areas and would eventually apostatize. Now, the gospel has been taken to every inhabited continent and it will never again be taken from the Earth. General Conference, represents this amazing time in my mind. E-mail me if you have questions.
