Welcome to the groundbreaking news program that delves into the heart of Mormonism, your weekly window into the unique intersection of news, history, and culture that resonates with the tapestry of Mormonism.

So whether you're tuning in from the heart of Utah or joining us from around the world,

your favorite news program starts now where news meets insight and the stories of our faith unfold.

Welcome everybody to another episode of the Mormon newscast. This is the 24th time that we've gotten together. And tonight I am joined by Rebecca Biblioteca and Radio Free Mormon. How are the two of

you guys doing tonight? Hello, everybody. Just wonderful. Thanks for asking. Awesome. Grateful to have you by my side as I conduct the meetings tonight per se.

Our top stories are garments getting longer.

We're going to find that out tonight. Do Latter-day Saint

members believe in the church literally? We're also going to talk a moment about the charge that

was dropped against the Pennsylvania state president who had originally been charged for not

reporting child abuse. We'll talk about the politics of lifting the priesthood ban,

and we've got two temple updates on the whole fiasco that the church is encountering all across

the country as it treasures its steeple height in the size of its new temples being announced

and built.
