The First Presidency has announced changes in the Church's area leadership assignments effective Aug. 1.
All members of area presidencies are General Authority Seventies.
Members of the Presidency of the Seventy have responsibilities for the areas in North America.
The Church now has 15 areas outside North America and 10 areas inside North America for a total of 25.
No black men. I wonder if that will change after Monson dies?
“When we are confronted with evidence that challenges our deeply held beliefs we are more likely to reframe the evidence than we are to alter our beliefs. We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')
I noticed that my favorite non apostle GA, L. Whitney Clayton, is assigned to "Assist in All Areas". Is this a bone thrown to him for missing out on the last apostle pick or is he now just the Q15's designated Danite?
