After back-to-back LDS General Conferences full of major changes and more than a year of revisions, reversals and reforms under President Russell M. Nelson, this weekend’s gathering may be remembered more for the words spoken than the actions taken.
The 94-year-old “prophet, seer and revelator” and other leaders referenced preparing the world for the Second Coming, warning those who have left Mormonism or never seriously considered joining the church that they’re running out of time.
No significant announcements came from the pulpit — outside of naming eight new temples to be built, virtually a conference staple in recent decades for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
