In this part one of a special two-part review of the October 2018 General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we explore two newsworthy topics:

• Reducing the Sunday meeting schedule to 2 hours, with emphasis on "home-centered, Church-supported" learning.
• The first General Women's Session included in General Conference weekend, replacing the Saturday Priesthood Session.

(Note: Part 2 will cover President Nelson's talk on the naming guidelines of the Church, and Elder Oaks' talks touching on political issues around marriage, sexuality, religious freedom, etc.)

We are joined by guest scholars Barbara Jones Brown and Ben Spackman.

We are in the process of changing the name of our podcast and website, but for now we can be found at:
