The English Revision of the General Handbook Is Complete

“General Handbook: Serving in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints” is now complete in English after its first partial release nearly two years ago. The most recent updates (detailed below) were published today online and in the Gospel Library app. This handbook has been prepared under the direction of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
The General Handbook is the result of unifying Handbook 1 (for stake presidents and bishops) and Handbook 2 (for all leaders) into one volume. The first chapters were published in February 2020, with subsequent updates in July and December of that year and March and August of 2021. Completion in other languages will come in 2022.
“The purpose behind this . . . revision is to help every member serve in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in a more Christlike way,” said Elder Anthony D. Perkins, executive director of the Church’s Correlation Department. “In a variety of ways, we’ve tried to make this book very accessible to every member of the Church, whether they’re a new member or a longtime member, whether they live in the United States or the most far-flung place on the planet.”

As I have read threw the church handbook all I feel is love. Things from why we minister, medical issues/questions, to how to help someone repente the overwhelming feeling is that it is for love, for the growth, for the edification of God's children.

The combination of handbook 1 and 2 and making it public has been a great step forward. I would say though changing the definition of apostasy to now going against the church and not Christ is troubling.

The committee that governs the editing and updating of the handbook are in constant prayer and asking vital questions that needs the Lord's advice and approval on. The Lord will NEVER allow His Church to be lead astray. The committee goes over each chapter until they have the approval of the Lord to move on. I thank God for prophets, seers and revealtors today.
