cougarfan Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 I recently heard that the church was changing the threefold mission of the church to the fourfold mission of the church. Is there any truth to that? I also heard that they were coming out with a new handbook. Is this just rumor or does anybody know? If they are changing the emphasis on the mission of the church what is the fourth category? Thanks. Quote

Snow Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) I recently heard that the church was changing the threefold mission of the church to the fourfold mission of the church.Is there any truth to that?You are confusing two separate issues. The Church has a three-fold mission. Men's clotheir Paul Fredicks has a seven-fold luxury tie see hereThe confusing comes in because some General Authorities wear Paul Fredrick ties.

Palerider Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 The 4th part of the new mission of the church is....send all tithing money to me, cash only.... I have not heard anything. Quote
Wingnut Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 Perhaps there will be a re-emphasis of the main mission of the church, which is to bring souls until Christ. The way we do that is through proclaiming the Gospel, perfecting the Saints, and redeeming the dead. Quote
Palerider Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 I do think its awesome tfor next year we will get the Gospel Principles Book for Relief Society and Priesthood. I am very excited about this. Quote

I am very excited about this.Some in our ward interpreted it that way, too. However, the Church web site still shows The Presidents of the Church series for Mel Ph and RS.LDS.org - Support Materials Chapter - Information for Priesthood and Auxiliary Leaders on CurriculumIs the web site just not updated? That would seem strange to me. Quote

BenRaines Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 Pale, is Gospel Principles to be the main course of study next year or a supplement to our study? Ben Raines Quote
pam Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 Perhaps there has been inspiration for us to go back to some basics for next year which was decided after the scheduled posted on lds.org. Quote
BenRaines Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 I just checked the LDS.org site and the Gospel Principles Manual is supplemental material.

Palerider Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 There is a new book coming out, and you have to remember they will not sell the 2010 material yet until all unit orders are filled. Quote

pam Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 I think that's what Pale posted just before yours. lol Quote
Jenamarie Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 Oh wow, that should be interesting! So what happens to the Gospel Principles class? Quote
pam Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 I could see how this would be used as a companion to the regular course of study. It doesn't state it's replacing the regular course, just that it will be used in Priesthood and RS. Quote

It doesn't state it's replacing the regular course, just that it will be used in Priesthood and RS.As ward clerk, my husband places all the orders for materials for the ward, and according to him (for the last several months), it will be the main course of study for RS/PH.

Jenamarie Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 Ohmigosh, I just took a look at it. It looks so much easier to teach from than the Prophet manuals! YAY!!! Quote
MarginOfError Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 And as an extra bonus, all of the references to Mormon Doctrine have been deleted. There have been a few other changes that may be considered major or minor, depending on who you talk to.Regarding the Handbooks, they are published in two parts. Book 1 is for bishops and stake presidents (as well as their counselors and administrative staff). Book 2 is for quorum and auxiliary presidents. The Church published a new edition of Book 1 in 2006 and have been working towards a release of a new version of Book 2 since then. It won't be a "new Handbook" per se, but will reflect the changes in policy made since the first release in 1998. They have not been distributing new copies of Book 2 for a little while (at least not in my stake). Quote
Justice Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 You see, what's funny is I interpreted the order form as saying it will be used in PH and RS, but others didn't. I have been asked to assist the Clerk (who is new) and the Library to be sure all the right materials are ordered. They just released and called basically new PResidencies of every organization and none of them have really went through a cirriculum order, so he asked me to help them.I just looked at the order form and we definately are using the new Gospel Principles manual in MP and RS on the 2nd and 3rd Sundays. I don't know what they were looking at, but I'll pass it on... thanks.I'll be sure and get the right number ordered! Quote

Gospel Principles manuals ordered before the end of the year will be charged in two phases...half from this year's allotment and half from next year's*. You probably already knew that, but it can't hurt to have the reminder.*applies only to orders from Church units. Quote
