Before we jump into today's episode, we want to invite you to something special.

We're hosting the first gathering of the LIE Fellowship, and this one is free and open to everyone.

It's happening February 18th at 9.30 a.m. Pacific, and Valerie will be leading a conversation

about episodes 407 and 409 from the series, What Does the Family Proclamation mean to you?

These gatherings are designed to give listeners a place to slow down and actually process

the podcast together, in real time, in real community, and without pressure to speak if you

don't want to.

If you've ever finished an episode wishing you had someone to talk to about it, this is your chance to experience what that feels like.

You can register for the free live gathering using the link in the show notes.

All right, let's get into today's episode.

Okay. Hello, everyone, welcome to Latter-day Struggles.

Well, there's a talk in general conference that many of you may have listened to, and also I think it's been sort of hot, hot, hotter than it used to be because of the call of Dallin Oaks to be the prophet and president of the church. And around that period

of time, Taylor wrote a couple of opinion, well, one opinion piece and then a follow-up. So Taylor,

give us a bit of an overview of what we talked about last week as we jumped deeper into this topic.

Sure.

So I decided that for the 30th anniversary, I wanted to write a little piece reflecting on the question of the genre of the proclamation on the family.
