    General Conference will now be held in a smaller venue, no one except the FP, speakers, and those praying will be in attendance, music is pre-recorded.

    Quote:

    As we have seen the many changes around the world because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have made adjustments to missionary service, temple work, and the ways in which we gather and worship.

    Recent days have brought new guidelines from experts around the world. After counseling as the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, we have felt it wise to modify further the format of our April 2020 general conference.

    Each session will be broadcast from a small auditorium on Temple Square. The First Presidency will preside and conduct those sessions, and only those who have been invited to speak or pray will attend. The music for the conference has been pre-recorded.

    By making these adjustments, we feel we can assist those who are working to slow the spread and impact of this pandemic. We are grateful for them and continue to pray for them. We are touched by the many accounts we hear of ministering to those in need during these uncertain times. We pray for Heavenly Fatherโ€™s choicest blessings upon you.

    This will be a remarkable conference. Messages of truth, hope, and inspiration will prevail as we commemorate the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ and seek to hear him.

    Sincerely,

    The First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

    Pres. Nelson did say this conference would be different from any previous one. I’m not sure if this is what he envisioned, but then again I’m not the prophet. (It’s not what I envisioned.)

    Wow! Maybe they can spin this to a “cozy afternoon with the Q15 in an intimate venue.” Definitely a historic occasion!

    You mean they won’t be preaching to the choir?
