Church Adjusts Mission Organization
Mission Leadership Council
Some new changes for the missions, the timing couldn't be better.
QUOTE The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is making adjustments to the way its 405 missions are organized, to better utilize the skills and abilities of all missionaries in training and leadership. The change is due in part to the influx of thousands of young missionaries who are responding to the lowering of age requirements for mission service, announced by President Thomas S. Monson last October.
Each mission in the Church will organize a Mission Leadership Council that will include both elder (males) and sister (females) missionary leaders. The new mission leadership council will consist of the mission president and his wife, assistants to the president, zone leaders, and sister training leaders.
"We are very excited about the new Mission Leadership Council and this role for sister missionaries," said Elder David F. Evans executive director of the Missionary Department. "It will be a blessing to both missions and missionaries throughout the world, and better employ the remarkable faith, talents and abilities of all missionaries."
The role of sister training leader has been created as more female missionaries serve in missions around the world. Sister training leaders will be responsible for the training and welfare of female missionaries assigned to them, and will be members of, and participate in the new mission leadership council.
Assistants to the president and zone leaders will also participate in the council, and those roles will remain unchanged. Missions will continue to be organized by zones and districts, with district leaders being responsible for baptismal interviews, but the Mission Leadership Council will replace the Zone Leader Council.

I believe in this Church and I believe our leaders are inspired and I'm very happy to read that sisters will have more opportunities to serve. Anyone out there who is seeing this as an attempt to keep calm the feminist movement is wrong.

ChicaSud you seem to be going around threads attacking the Feminist groups and condemning them for their choices. Live and let live. I'm happy for this opportunity and I'm glad the Church has been making so many changes in the last 6 months which means they're hearing our concerns. That's a wonderful thing.

I am sharing my opinion just like you are sharing yours so I don't know what you are talking about. The changes you're talking about are not a big deal it is only the feminist wing of the church who is trying to make this all about them. They have no respect for the Prophet of God.
